🔍 Core Idea of Time-lapse Photography
Time-lapse photography captures a sequence of photos over time, showing motion and change in a compressed format. It emphasizes the passage of time, rhythm, and transformation, commonly used in landscape, urban, astronomical, and conceptual storytelling. While originally a video technique, in AI, we simulate the visual feel of time shifting or motion streaks in a single frame.
