Matt Kenneally talks through his unique \u2018time-slice\u2019 process<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What even is time-slice photography? It\u2019s a question I get asked a lot. People see me shooting and often wonder why I need to stand in a spot for hours to get a single picture. The answer is simple: to get one time-slice image, I first need around 700 individual ones. A time-slice photograph is similar to a time-lapse, in that it is used to show the passing of time.<\/p>\n<p>However, unlike with a time-lapse, I try to show the passing of time in just one image. Choosing the correct scene is the first challenge, as you have to perfectly blend the images so that you can see the passing of time while still ensuring they line up correctly. You need an eye for detail and a lot of patience.<\/p>\n<h3>Preparing for the unpredictable<\/h3>\n<p>To plan for a shoot, I always make a trip to scout the location first. As I need to be standing in the same spot for a long time, the last thing I want is to get set up, only<br \/>\nto be told I then can\u2019t shoot in the location or it\u2019s closing, so I have to leave. As unpredictable as it is here in the UK, the weather has a huge influence on whether my images are usable or not, so I always check the weather before heading out to shoot.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_167019&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 740px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/brighton-pavillion.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167019\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/brighton-pavillion.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Brighton Royal Pavilion. This image was made from 30 slices taken over 2.5 hours<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Location and weather aren\u2019t the only things I have to consider when planning my time-slices \u2013 I also have to think about what I\u2019m shooting and how it will actually look once it\u2019s sliced. Some images work better than others. For example, if the object you\u2019re shooting naturally moves with time, it looks more natural when showing this in a sliced image, as you can with my image of the London Eye.<\/p>\n<p>I knew I wanted the slices to rotate from the centre of the wheel so that not only did the slice look like a wheel, but it would even show the passing of time in the small details (such as the pods getting brighter in each image).<\/p>\n<p>Be prepared for problems. My most memorable moment so far was the first time I went to shoot Big Ben after it had been unveiled. I got to the location, only<br \/>\nto find there was a Christmas video being filmed and the area was blocked off. I managed to find a spot nearby that still captured the image how I wanted it, but then 30 minutes into setting up, I was told by a security guard that I couldn\u2019t shoot there either!<\/p>\n<p>All this after not being able to shoot for a week due to a severe storm. But I\u2019d waited five years for Big Ben to be ready and I wasn\u2019t going to give up; eventually,<br \/>\nI got the shot and it came out exactly how I wanted it to. So you definitely need a little perseverance when it comes to shooting time-slice photography.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_167020&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 740px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/London-Eye.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167020\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/London-Eye.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The London Eye. Made from 40 slices taken over a period of three hours<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>How to shoot for a time-slice<\/h3>\n<p>The reason time-slice photography can take so long is because as I mentioned earlier, you need many different images to condense and edit into the final one. In order to be able to achieve the look of passing time, you need to ensure each slice differs from the previous one.<\/p>\n<p>If there is only an hour between your first slice and your last one, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll see much difference in your images, as not enough will have changed in such a short length of time for it to make an interesting and eye-catching effect. I find working around sunrise or sunset is ideal, as the natural light change can show the passing of time much more easily, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can only shoot around these times.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re photographing in a city, the buildings lighting up will also help show the time difference and make for some eye-catching slices. You also want to make sure you choose to photograph an object\/area that looks good in both the day and at night \u2013 the last thing you need is to be halfway through, only to realise the second part of your time-slice will be dark and boring.<\/p>\n<p>To shoot a time-slice image, I start by shooting a time-lapse, also known as a day-to-night time-lapse. I usually start just before sunset and shoot through golden hour and into blue hour. Most of my shoots last around three or four hours, to ensure I have enough images to choose from for my time-slice. That way I know each will look different while still blending together effectively.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_167021&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 740px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/towerB120.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167021\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/towerB120.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Tower Bridge. This image was made from 31 slices taken over a period of three hours<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>The editing process<\/h3>\n<p>After shooting, I\u2019ll select the images that stand out to me the most, and those will be the ones I use to make up my time-slice. I always do a test slice just to see how the transition in the sky will come out in the final image; they might look great as separate images but the end result can come out completely differently. The best place to start is the start.<\/p>\n<p>So I select my first image for the start of my time-slice, and then decide how much passing time I want to show in the image. The more time you want to reveal, the bigger the gap should be between the images you choose to use. Sometimes I\u2019ll count ahead 10 images and select that one; other times it might be 20 images, and so on. Once you have started this process, you just repeat it until you have all the slices you need for your time-slice image.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned, when prepping for an image and choosing an object\/area to shoot, I\u2019ll usually have an idea of how I want to slice the image, but this is when it comes down to practice \u2013 I have to hope it turns out the way I want it to and I\u2019m happy with how it looks.<\/p>\n<p>I sometimes go with a standard vertical slice, or I\u2019ll try out a few different shapes and patterns that I think might work better with the scene. It\u2019s all about trial and error when it comes to editing. You might decide at the end that you don\u2019t like the image you\u2019ve made, but you\u2019ll find that if you choose different images to slice, and a different pattern to go with, you\u2019ll uncover the perfect combination.<\/p>\n<p>An image you once thought was useless will now become one you fall in love with and that\u2019s what I enjoy most about time-slice photography. You can design your final image however you want, and make it unique to you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Six steps to a simple time-slice<\/h3>\n<h3>Select your images<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Selecting-your-images.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167022 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Selecting-your-images.jpg\" alt=\"selecting your image for a time-slice in photoshop\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>I use the library tab in Lightroom as this makes it easier to select the images you want to use. Pick your first image, then move along 10 images and select the next one. Repeat this step till you end up with the number of slices you want for your final creation.<\/p>\n<h3>Apply your edit<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/apply-your-edit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167023 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/apply-your-edit.jpg\" alt=\"applying an editing to time-slice photos\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Now, go over all the shots and apply a rough edit (you\u2019ll also get time at the end to fine-tune). If you decide to do some cropping, make sure all the images have the same crop applied to them \u2013 you can do this by syncing the crop.<\/p>\n<h3>Move over to Photoshop<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/moving-over-to-photoshop.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167024 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/moving-over-to-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"using photoshop for time-slice editing\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>In Photoshop, select all the images you\u2019ve edited and right click&gt;Edit in&gt;Open as Layers. If you are worried you might have knocked the tripod, you can just do a quick auto align by selecting all the layers and going to\u00a0Edit&gt;Auto-Align layers.<\/p>\n<h3>Setting up guides<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/setting-up-guides.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167025 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/setting-up-guides.jpg\" alt=\"setting up guides for time-slice editing\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Guides help you keep slices nice and straight and evenly spaced out. Go to View&gt;New Guide Layout. Enter the number of columns you need for your time-slice; this will be the same as the number of images you\u2019ve chosen to make your time-slice with.<\/p>\n<h3>Select your slices<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/selecting-your-slices.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167026 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/selecting-your-slices.jpg\" alt=\"select slices for final image time-slice editing\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>With your first layer selected, use the rectangular marquee tool to draw a box around your first slice, then on the right hand side below your layers, click the Layer Mask button to create a mask around the first layer. You now have your first slice, so repeat.<\/p>\n<h3>The final edit<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/final-edit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167027 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/final-edit.jpg\" alt=\"final editing stage\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Now your time-slice is complete, save it in Photoshop and you should be able to return to Lightroom and find the slice added to your library. Make any final adjustments. I love to see what people create, so please tag me on social media \u2013 @Matt_Kenneally.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Kit list<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Tripod<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A strong, sturdy tripod makes life so much easier when shooting time-slices. You want all the frames to stay aligned, so zero movement is a must. If you end up with<br \/>\na little movement, the time-slice is not lost, as you can always\u00a0auto-align it in Photoshop later, but it\u2019s always preferable to reduce the chances of movement from the start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A time-lapse remote<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An intervalometer is probably the most important item when it comes to time-slices \u2013 it triggers the camera and sets the shooting interval between shots. I use a LRTimelapse remote for this, but you can pick up a cheap intervalometer for about \u00a315 on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photoshop<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I use this to splice together all my time-slices \u2013 it\u2019s simply a process of using layer masks to show each slice of an image. If you have an older PC\/Mac, I\u2019d make a smaller number of slices at first \u2013 20 is a good start. You don\u2019t want your system slowing down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PhotoPills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This iOS and Android app helps a lot. I use it to pinpoint my timing for a shoot, checking when the sun will go down or where it will set. I like to avoid shooting directly into the sun\u2019s path, so PhotoPills helps avoid that. It also has a time-lapse calculator on it, which comes in very handy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Matt Kenneally<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/headshot-of-Matt-K.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"167018\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/headshot-of-Matt-K.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"254\" height=\"318\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Matt first picked up a camera 12 years ago, while still a graphic designer working for lots of well-known brands.
