Time lapse Pro Tips


Here's a list of tips I use to help you make a good time lapse great. I'll continually be updating it so check back for new additions!

- Use a tripod

- Never use auto focus (looks bad in the final product when your focus point is constantly changing)

- Use static settings for your shutter speed, f-stop, ISO and white-balance

- Choose your shooting interval purposefully (1 sec vs 2 sec can make a big difference)

- Choose a shooting location you know you won't have to chance because of pedestrian traffic or other obstructions

- To conserve battery power turn off any type of stabilization UNLESS:

- When shooting in a shaky or windy environment try and setup your camera as low to the ground as possible, use zoom sparingly to minimize blurry shots and consider using image stablization
