Around you are beautiful rock formations, caves, and white sand dunes. Looking to the ocean, a whale breaches as your camera catches the last rays of the sun dipping below the horizon. You're in Gansbaai, South Africa, the perfect location to capture awesome time lapse shots.

This is not a traditional workshop, it's an experience. Get on the fast track to creating high quality time lapse photographs. Even if you're an experienced time lapse photographer you will learn some advanced techniques to bring your films to a whole new level.

Your guide is Armand Dijcks, who will give you a lot of personal attention because the group size is strictly limited to a maximum of 6 participants.

During this workshop you’ll learn everything about how to set up the perfect time lapse shot and how to get the most out of your gear. You'll also master the intricacies of the post-production workflow, and learn about the pros and cons of different ways of post-processing.

And that's just the start. The main focus of this workshop is on how to take your shots from average to awesome. You’ll be amazed at how much more you can get out of your shots. Along the way you'll discover new time lapse techniques, such as long exposure time lapse (see the video on the right for an example). All of this will be explained and demonstrated in an easy-to-understand way.

Topics that will be covered include:

Avoiding and fixing flicker, creating smooth looking images and avoiding the typical time lapse look, bending time (time remapping), exposure ramping, bracketing, different workflows, RAW processing, motion and stabilization (in-camera and in post), walk/drive lapse, color grading, layering and masking, using composite modes, long exposure time lapse, simulating camera moves in post: zooming, panning, and push-pull moves.
