Ahh, road trips. Get out on the open road jamming to your favorite tunes with the wind in your hair, and time stands still. Seriously, road trips can warp time! And we’ve got a few photo projects to prove it. Next time you’re gonna hit the road, pack your camera and try one of these time-bending projects. Read on to learn how to animate your road trip mascot, slow down your road trip buddy and add some magic to what you see out your window. 3 Time-Twisting Road Trip Photo Projects p.s. We’re still looking for a kick-ass Photojojo Store Buyer! Inquire within. Packing List:
We happen to have a camera that has a time lapse setting buried in the menu (sweet!). If yours doesn’t, you can either get an intervalometer or check out the Digital Time Lapse Camera in our shop. Also keep in mind, if your camera is tied up taking a time lapse you won’t be able to use it for anything else (so bring a spare!) Animate with Time-Lapse!The idea behind Time Lapse Photography is to take a series of photos of the same thing over time and smash them together so you can see life move in super-speed. We wrote out the basics in this awesome tutorial a while back, and now we’re gonna one up ourselves and turn our time lapse into a stop animation! All you gotta do is have something in the frame, in this case Shep the Octopus, move ever so slightly every time you take a picture. Then when you put all the photos together… it’s alive! Isn’t our octopus the cutest? For this video we took a picture every 30 seconds and had our camera duct taped to all the stuff packed in the back seat, but using a tripod is awesome if you’ve got the space. If you’re gonna film a long trip have an extra battery at the ready and set your camera to take lower quality photos (so the files aren’t too big!) Cross Country CartwheelYou can use time-lapse to speed things up but you can also use your camera to slow things (like your road trip buddy) down.
Leave Your Mark On the Open Road
Use a dry erase marker to draw on your car window and make the world a little more interesting! Then photograph it of course. Just make sure you use a narrow aperture so that everything is in focus. Add cows (or a UFO) to a field, sea monsters to a lake, or a Ferris Wheel to a parking lot. You could even have a T-rex scale a building! Let your cabin fever goofiness take control and see what you come up with! The best part is that your car gets to be in on the fun too! And doesn’t your car deserve that after all the work it’s done to get you here? Even More Road Side Attractions
