The <strong>most common one is the rule of thirds.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rule of thirds divides your camera screen into nine squares. The rule simply means that if you can <strong>make an image more interesting by placing an object on one of the intersecting lines<\/strong> of those nine squares.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So a simple tip to<strong> improve your time-lapse is to place a subject on one of the intersecting lines.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rule of thirds also has two horizontal, or <strong>HORIZON lines<\/strong>. This is extremely <strong>helpful for shooting subjects like clouds, stars, the milky way or the aurora borealis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the sky is really interesting, use the horizon line to frame your shot and allow the sky to take up 2\/3rds of your screen.

I recommend cloudy.<\/strong> You can always change the white balance in post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key here is <strong>if we leave it in auto, EVERY SINGLE PHOTO will have a different white balance<\/strong> and create unwanted color changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to <strong>turn off autofocus<\/strong> because things will inevitably move in front of and away from our camera. <strong>If we leave it on, our camera will choose different things to focus on from photo to photo and it will look terrible. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get in the hang of that you might even find yourself shooting in full manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last technique we can do is a photography technique referred to as \u201c<strong>dragging the shutter\u201d or taking a long exposure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By taking a longer photo, we essentially \u201cblend\u201d the individual photos a bit better. &nbsp;Resulting in a more pleasing photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>good rule of thumb for this is to make your photos half a second exposure<\/strong>. This will give you motion blur (which is good in a timelapse) and blend the light from photo to photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are shooting time lapses during the day, it may be very bright and make it difficult to get motion blur.

Travel tripods are great, they work, but eventually you may want to upgrade to a heavy tripod for high winds and astrophotography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/An-example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-from-smith-and-9th-subway-station-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/An-example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-from-smith-and-9th-subway-station-2-100x133.jpg 100w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/An-example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-from-smith-and-9th-subway-station-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/An-example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-from-smith-and-9th-subway-station-2-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/An-example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-from-smith-and-9th-subway-station-2-700x934.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/An-example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-from-smith-and-9th-subway-station-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/An-example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-from-smith-and-9th-subway-station-2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust me, there\u2019s nothing worse than spending lots of money to go on vacation to try and shoot the milky way or aurora borealis and have it ruined by wind blowing your tripod and camera over and at best case scenario ruining the shot but worst case breaking your camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke-100x133.jpg 100w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke-846x1128.jpg 846w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke-984x1312.jpg 984w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-peak-design-tripod-broke.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d recommend getting <strong>flashlights<\/strong> if you end up doing <em>sunrises or astrophotography<\/em> or anything involving the night.

You\u2019re pretty much ready to shoot because you know how many photos you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know how long you want your video to be, composition, location and how to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to dial in those settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t cool with going full manual no worries. As previously mentioned use aperture priority or AV mode. This will make take a lot of guesswork out of the decision for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next confirm you are <strong>not in auto-white balance<\/strong>. White balance is figured out by adding tints of green or purple, to temperatures of yellow or blue. Resulting in specific shades of white.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are MILLIONS of different combos that are so similar, but slightly different. If we leave auto white balance on, each photo could be slightly different. And since we speed these photos up, IT WILL SHOW UP and look very odd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to attack this is just to <strong>CHOOSE A WHITE BALANCE<\/strong>. I recommend cloudy. You can always edit it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-in-Aberdine-Scotland-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-in-Aberdine-Scotland-100x133.jpg 100w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-in-Aberdine-Scotland-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-in-Aberdine-Scotland-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-in-Aberdine-Scotland-700x934.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-in-Aberdine-Scotland-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/example-of-a-heavy-duty-tripod-used-for-a-time-lapse-in-Aberdine-Scotland.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The one thing we haven\u2019t talked about yet is <strong>SHUTTER SPEED.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shutter speed is the speed that the shutter opens and closes when taking an image.<\/strong> It\u2019s important because the <strong>faster the shutter<\/strong>, the quicker the photo takes and <strong>the more you FREEZE any motion<\/strong> in the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For time-lapse <strong>we DO NOT WANT to freeze motion<\/strong>. We want to <strong>SEE THE MOTION<\/strong>. So we want to get MOTION BLUR if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fun experiment you can do right now is put one of your hands in front of your face. Look at your hand and start waving it. Notice that your hand looks like a blur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is what we are after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a time-lapse. The best possible shutter speed settings are to get our shutter speed to be one-half of our interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if our interval is 1 second. Our ideal shutter speed would be 1\/2 a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If our interval was 10 seconds, our ideal shutter speed is 5 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really want to stress the word IDEAL here. It\u2019s more a nice if we can do it, but if you don\u2019t have nuetral density filters you might not be able to in EVERY situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, that\u2019s not the most important thing. The main goal is to get MOTION BLUR. If you can\u2019t get it to 1\/2 of your interval. Just have your shutter speed as slow as you possibly can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motion blur goes a long way to making our footage look smoother and less jittery. This is a big distinction from a smartphone timelapse with the native apps vs specific apps or professional equipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shoot Your Time lapse Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Two-cameras-shooting-a-time-lapse-from-the-911-memorial-in-staten-island-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Two-cameras-shooting-a-time-lapse-from-the-911-memorial-in-staten-island-100x133.jpg 100w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Two-cameras-shooting-a-time-lapse-from-the-911-memorial-in-staten-island-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Two-cameras-shooting-a-time-lapse-from-the-911-memorial-in-staten-island-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Two-cameras-shooting-a-time-lapse-from-the-911-memorial-in-staten-island-700x934.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Two-cameras-shooting-a-time-lapse-from-the-911-memorial-in-staten-island-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hyperlapsephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Two-cameras-shooting-a-time-lapse-from-the-911-memorial-in-staten-island.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shooting your time lapse footage is honestly the easiest part because you did all the heavy lifting beforehand. <strong>I promise you the more effort you put into the prep.
