The idea here is to capture how shadows move over time, avoid
cloudy days and fast moving subjects. For better results, use a
wide angle lens.
Duration: 3–5 hours will bring shadows to life.
Rotation: Use 45–90 degrees to get a great field of view.
Interval: To capture the maximum amount of detail, use 20
second intervals.
Aperture: Use a small aperture to keep everything in focus f 11–f 16.
Shutter: Sharpness is key, use 1/100 seconds.

WATER
In time lapse videos, flowing water looks like a mysteriously
peaceful mist.
Duration: 30 minutes–2 hours.
Rotation: Tilt up or down 30–45 degrees to capture a waterfall
or pan 15–45 degrees to capture a river.
Interval: Set the interval a little higher than the shutter speed
to allow for processing time.
Aperture: Use a large aperture to keep the image sharp. f 2.8–f 4.
Shutter: You will need an ND filter to allow for long exposure
times. 5–10 seconds.
