無可言喻的美 縮時攝影(time-lapse photography)

縮時攝影(time-lapse photography),能夠拍出極度漂亮影像的影片製作手法,網路上已經有很多攝影師拍了很多縮時攝影的攝影作品。

之前看到一則新聞有介紹這很厲害的縮時攝影師 (Tom Lowe) 拍的影片 (Mountain Light),真的是把影像玩弄到極致,而且攝影師本身對於畫面的構圖能力也是不在話下,原來我們居住的地球是這麼的充滿靈魂之美。

 

來說說什麼是縮時攝影(time-lapse photography)

在Wiki百科上面的解釋是:

Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured once every second, then played back at 30 frames per second. The result is an apparent 30-times speed increase. Time-lapse photography can be considered the opposite of high speed photography or slow motion.

Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, e.g. the motion of the sun and stars in the sky, become very pronounced. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of undercranking, and can be confused with stop motion animation.

 

簡單的說就是在固定間隔時間並且在特定地點作連續性的拍照,再把這些長時間拍攝的照片縮短到極小的時間裡播放,就像是針對某一景點主題,利用每15秒拍一張,總共拍6小時的照片共有1440張,再用每秒放映24張的速率播放,就會看起來像是把6小時的時間壓縮在1分鐘內快速播放的影像,有點像是動畫抽格的原理。

最近看到一個也是很厲害的縮時攝影影片Paris In Motion(Part 1),這個攝影師是Mayeul Akopvi,這裡很特別的地方是它在拍攝縮時攝影時鏡頭是會運動的,這算是比較不同於其他縮時攝影多數都是定點固定方向式的手法,難度相對也高出許多,經由Mayeul Akopvi呈現出的巴黎街景也相當有藝術之都的氣息。
