If you're curious about how to create time-lapse photos/videos, I strongly recommend you see this video by @ewen.

PeerTube: makertube.net/w/2Lc9xUXC5sh4z7…
For me, photography and filmmaking require skills on an artistic level and a technical level. Top marks to Ewen Bell there — but in addition to that, in this video, he adds an extra dimension with how effectively he communicates and educates with this complex subject-matter.
If you've been thinking about having a go with time-lapse imagery, I hope this video inspires you to pick up your camera and make something beautiful.
