  2. Time-lapse photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-lapse_photography

    For example, an image of a scene may be captured at 1 frame per second but then played back at 30 frames per second; the result is an apparent 30 times speed increase. Processes that would normally appear subtle and slow to the human eye, such as the motion of the sun and stars in the sky or the growth of a plant, become very pronounced.

  3. Long-exposure photography - Wikipedia

    A 30-second-long exposure sharply captured the still elements of this image while blurring the waterfall into a mist-like appearance. Debris in the swirling water in the pool forms complete circles. Long exposures can blur moving water so it has mist-like qualities while keeping stationary objects like land and structures sharp.

    The development of mechanical clock drives meant cameras attached to telescopes could eventually capture successful images of celestial objects. The first known attempt at astronomical photography was by Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre , inventor of the daguerreotype process which bears his name, who attempted to photograph the Moon in 1839.

    The agreed standards for shutter speeds are: 1 ⁄ 1000 s; 1 ⁄ 500 s; 1 ⁄ 250 s; 1 ⁄ 125 s; 1 ⁄ 60 s; 1 ⁄ 30 s; 1 ⁄ 15 s; 1 ⁄ 8 s; 1 ⁄ 4 s; 1 ⁄ 2 s; and 1 s. [3] An extended exposure can also allow photographers to catch brief flashes of light, as seen here. Exposure time 15 seconds.

    At first, it requires several minutes of exposure in the camera, but later improvements reduce the exposure time to a few seconds. Photography suddenly enters the public consciousness and Daguerre's process is soon being used worldwide.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate

    Frame rate, most commonly expressed in frame/s, frames per second or FPS, is typically the frequency (rate) at which consecutive images are captured or displayed.This definition applies to film and video cameras, computer animation, and motion capture systems.
