Time-Lapse Photography Art and Techniques by Mark Higgins

If you want a different point of view of your subject that your tripod cannot provide – if it is too short,
for example – look around and improvise. In this example a safety fence was in view of the camera,
so additional height was required to capture the time-lapse. A nearby table gave the perfect solution
to the problem by providing the height needed.
THE SIX STEPS OF TIME-LAPSE
When you are setting up your time-lapse it is constructive if a process is followed; this way you can
ensure that nothing important is forgotten at the time of shooting. It is very easy to overlook something
when on location; we find ourselves in unfamiliar surroundings and we can be distracted by what is
around us. Below is a process that you might find useful. You can always change it and make it your
own, but it’s a good starting point.
