About Time-lapse: Time-lapse is like a fast forward for reality; it allows you to observe things happening faster than they actually occur. Time-lapse helps us understand the world by visually showing changes that we cannot normally perceive. You could sit for several days in the same place and watch a flower bloom. But the change happens so slowly that you could not mentally compare one state of the flower to the next. The human visual system is designed to detect change. Our eyes and minds can perceive complex changes in a scene better than any instrument or computer system. But it functions only at a certain speed and timescale. Time-lapse allows us to tune the speed of change to the speed that our own eyes and mind can best understand and appreciate.​
