No
I was forwarded something I found very inspiring its timelapse photography (or cinematography, not sure what category it would be).

I hope you guys enjoy and learn from it as much as I did.

It's really well executed, but I always get bored by such clips after about 30 seconds.
 
It's not the act of doing it, it's just the quantity of photos taken.

If a 7d shutter is rated for 150,000 actuations then a time lapse over a period of hours might consist of several thousand photos taken.

Something like a compact without a mechanical shutter or something like a Panasonic GH2 which you can fiddle with to use the electronic shutter wouldn't have so much of a wear issue.

Can shutters be fixed or replaced it they reach their limits?

Yeah they can, but you could easily be talking a fair few hundred pounds, but in the grand scheme of things to create something like the above the amount spent on dollys, tripods and rigs, not to mention time and effort then a few hundred quid is the least of the expenses.

True. Especially considering getting a new camera all together would be more than x4 that price.
 
Thats excellent!

I can see the point someone made about getting bored by them after so long. Unless they are telling some sort of story then it can seem repetative.

Getting 5 months work into 4 minutes of video i'm fairly sure the photographer thought he was making it short! :lol:

Ok this is awesome, i remember trying a quick time-lapse with my old 600D and iMovie but it was absolutely poo, too slow. What software is needed to create something like this, or at least the speed of frame rates.
 
That is really cool, is it advised to not use your slr for time lapse then?

Nope (that is not the advice). You can do a Rhinelander on any camera that had manual settings and either an interval runner or a way of remotely triggering.

Interval is best because you can say you want 800 shoots taken 3 seconds apart etc.

A 'Rhinelander'???
 
Many thanks for this, I think I am gonna give it a try

Would it be beneficial to use live view?

exactly my thoughts. although I absolutely loved "breaking bad" tv series clips. it was stunning and well - they have the funds and also there was a story + you know the characters etc.
