The main idea is to take these photographs with a certain time interval (configured by us) between shots, and in this way represent any type of event in a shorter period of time.<\/p>\nTimelapses are a widely used photographic technique in which we try to capture events that usually occur at very slow speeds, through numerous photographic images. The results are usually impressive, it must be said.<\/p>\n

If you wonder why it is done in photos and not in video, the answer is very simple. A camera allows you to obtain much higher quality than a video<\/strong>, and less quality loss if you accelerate it at a given moment.<\/p>\n In addition, the size of the set of images will also be smaller and finally you will have many more parameters to configure when taking all the necessary photographs, which offers you a wide range of possibilities.<\/p>\n [toc]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If, like me, you are passionate about 3D printing and all its technologies, I suppose that you have already viewed numerous Timelapse videos on printed pieces like the ones it generates WildRoseBuilds<\/strong><\/a> on his YouTube channel. And if you haven’t seen them yet, you’re already taking time, because believe me, they’re really spectacular.<\/p>\n By the way, let me remind you that if you are interested in generating this type of Timelapse in 3D printing you can visit our article The 10 most interesting Octoprint plugins<\/strong><\/a>, and you will discover plugins to easily perform this type of Timelapse without the need for an intervalometer, since Octoprint<\/strong> will take care of it.<\/p>\nBrief introduction<\/h2>\n
