I recently bought a high end time lapse camera as I wanted to learn about this style of picture capturing for things like the weather changes which I thought would be a great form of documentation. Like most things I am learning through trial and error where at one point I seemed to have found some sweet spots depending on what time of day I was filming. With that, I have been using the same settings for a few days and admiring the results.
Now today there were severe weather warnings and there was actually thunder and lightning at times. Because of that, I was thinking maybe I could capture some cool lightning images. However, all my settings were too slow to capture it and I was actually trying o learn on the spot on what the best settings were. Everything from tinkering with settings to reading online materials it’s something I didn’t practice. Unfortunately, it was all over eventually and that meant I lost some good footage.
It’s a great example I thought where you should always try and learn different ways to do things plus in different scenarios as just doing the same routine means you will likely not be prepared to grab sudden opportunities like these when they arrive. Especially when you have the luxury to do so.
