Shooting Time Lapse is one of the great adventures of still photography. In this lesson I will show how to shoot, and light a simple time lapse sequence. I wanted to shoot a time-Lapse piece in my style. I also combined the Time Lapse sequence with a live action piece as well. That made it even more fun. I used a Kessler Cinie slider that is programmable to make slow moves during time-laps shooting. The Gnome short was about 75 minutes to make the 3 foot move. This technology has come so far in the last 2 years. It was great fun. I hope you find it educational.

  • If you set the remote for a photo every second, and you go for 11/2 hours, I thought the remote had a 99 photo limit. How do you get it to shoot more?

  • @hondafoto The canon Remote TC-80N3 has no limit on the number of exposiures. It does have a counter that you can set to stop after a set number of images. Maybe your is set at 99? Just a guess. I know on mine i have done thousands of images on one time lapse. The pumpkin image on my candle time-lapse was shot for 2 weeks at every 5 minutes. I shot a lot more then 99 images on that one. Good luck!

  • awesome video, great tutorial! Quick question - where did you find such a large silk?!

  • @JohnCowiePhoto Online you can get them from bhphotovideo . com or other large photo shops.
