Timelapsing, already a challenging yet rewarding form of photography in motion, has been one-upped by an even more daunting endeavor: hyperlapsing. We've seen examples of cameras mounted on motorized rails for timelapse work, such as this piece by Tom Lowe, but now, people are moving their cameras by entire city blocks for their timelapses. The "hyperlapse technique" involves patience, an eye for composure, and image stabilization via editing programs. Typically, the photographer must precisely move of the camera's tripod (or monopod) within the environment being photographed. Most often, the photographer chooses a reference point - a building, tree, or anything else that occupies a portion of the frame - and moves the tripod slightly after every picture, recomposing so that the object is in the same spot for each photo. Adobe After Effects is most commonly used to "iron out" any abrupt or unwanted movements.
Think you have the patience and the steady hands to give hyperlapsing a try?
