As soon as I started putting together my planning for my Life timelapse, I had a lot of ideas on angles, settings, and lesnses to bring my timelapse together.

 

On this first story line, I had the idea of having seeds starting off completely out of focus, but as time goes on, they'd slowely grow into focus. I really liked the idea of this, however, knew it might be slightly impossible, as this would require a tripod mount directly above the seeds, and also, this process would take a couple of days to take place, which could resault in some frames changing. To achieve this out of focus begining, I'd need a shallow, and sharp depth of field, therefore, I chose a lens which could reach all the way down to f/2.8, and also provides a 1:1 macro magnification value. This is where my Tamron 90 mm lens would come in handy. Having my aperture all the way down to f/2.8 would mean that the area of which would be in focus is very small, meaning that the seeds at first would be increadibly blured, and would only see as they reach into focus.

 

My third idea was to include traffic, and the public in my timelapse. This would should the normal things which happens on a normal day to day basis of traveling in life. Such as walking to work, to the shops, or back home. I plan to use as slower shutter speed as possible, to create a blured effect, and then also shoot as continuous shooing - opposed to timelapse - which means that frames which are next to each other contain the same subjects. This would mean the movemeant in the frame is similar, and has a smooth transition.
