How to finish time-lapse photography with 5d2?

The specific use of 5d2 for time-lapse photography can be carried out by preparing the following operations:

First, I have a good understanding of the shooting location.

1, the first is the commanding height, overlooking the spectacular scenery of the city. It will be a great surprise to choose a good weather to shoot. Next, you can find a place with water, such as rivers, lakes and even large landscape fountains. The water surface with long exposure and time-lapse photography will be very dreamy.

2. If your city doesn't have the first two kinds of landscapes, it's also a good choice to go to the city center. People come and go, and add a dimming filter to discredit people. In addition, shooting at night is also a good choice. The traffic on the busiest road in every city is an excellent picture.

Second, adjust the camera gear.

1. For general shooting, it is recommended to use camera M, that is, manual exposure mode to determine a fixed aperture, shutter and sensitivity. Then set the horizontal position to manual. You can manually set the horizontal position or manually adjust the K value, and then turn off the automatic dark compensation function of the fuselage (highlight color fading priority and automatic brightness optimization) to eliminate all exposure factors determined by the camera.

2. Because time-lapse photography ultimately produces a visual annoyance, rather than a photo, any light change in the environment will affect the camera's metering system, making a series of photos with automatic compensation function have different colors and exposure differences, and making the viewing surface appear obvious flicker. Therefore, when shooting time-lapse photography, we must learn to get rid of the dependence on the camera electronic system and achieve accurate exposure.

Third, the calculation of shooting time and number of people

1, shooting duration (minutes), camera interval (seconds) x24x, and the duration of the final required clip (seconds) -60.

2. Number of lenses = =24X. Length of the final desired clip (seconds)

According to these two formulas, we can easily calculate the number of photos to be taken.

Extended data:

In time-lapse photography video, the slow change of an object or scene is compressed in a very short time, presenting a strange and wonderful scene that is usually imperceptible to the naked eye. Time-lapse photography can be regarded as the opposite of high-speed photography. Time-lapse photography is usually used to shoot urban scenery, natural scenery, astronomical phenomena, urban life, architectural manufacturing, biological evolution and other topics.
