does anyone have any idea how i can photopraph time passing?

Question

i cant use blatent references and cant use food.

Answer 1

try taking a photo every fifteen minutes or so of the same item. Or even every hour. But try this site it may help. The list is long so you will need to scroll down to find what you need. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Set yout Camera Shutter speed to about 30 Seconds, and shoot at a Clock.
Unless you want many Pictures to show time passing, I'd suggest Different times of day, sunrise, daylight, and sunset...
Or Running Water, falling snow, Moving Traffic (Very Slow Shutter Speed) Or you can even add Motion Blurr with Photoshop!
Even a Picture of a Person Watching TV would do it!
Good Luck and Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Depending on how long you have to do this assignment you could try something like shooting progressive shots of a mans beard growing. Clean shaven, 5 o'clock shadow, a weeks growth etc. Oh and ignore anyone who tells you not to use photoshop (unless its your teacher). Photography is an artistic PROCESS that doesn't just use a camera. Using Photoshop is no different than using a darkroom. No one ever says not to dodge or burn , or adjust color packs in the darkroom.

Answer 4

you didn't say wether it was a series of pics you needed or just one.

for a single image i would say:
if you have a bulb mode on your camera you could point your camera to the sky and leave it open all night. if you have it pointed in the right directions you'll get all the stars blured and making a circle. i also like the idea someone gave you of the cars going by. also i like multiple exposures using flash if you have one. for example someone walking or doing a cartwheel and you take several pictures in succesion flashing as you go. the flash stops the action, but again you have to have a camera and flash that will sync and shoot that fast.

Answer 5

when i had the same assignment i set up my tripod then piled up leaves over the sidewalk (has to be windy) and photographed the progressive revealing of the sidewalk. got an a on it. of course you could always do that extremely trite candle burning down in a dark studio thing. don't photoshop it. photography is art. the darkroom is art. any moron can make something decent with five minutes in photoshop but it lacks the quality, time and love that come out of the darkroom

Answer 6

photograph a person in a landscape, and have them move to different locations, as if they walked a long ways. If you have a series like this, it can imply the passage of time. Generally, you'd either need a series of photographs or a very obvious single photograph. Dressing people up in antique costumes also indicates the passage of time between that era and the present.

Answer 7

Go on a Middle of a Street almost dark.
Set your Camera at a few Minutes, and "record" the Cars Passing by, looks really good when you do it right!!!
One side of the Street you have these Yellow lines, and the other side you have those red lines (back lights).
Good Luck, whatever you decide!

Answer 8

Use a low ISO film (or low ISO setting on your digital camera), stop the aperture down as far as it will go, and take a long exposure of running water in a stream or waterfall.

Answer 9

cant use food but can you use water? My suiggestion is to photograph a glass full of water... one 1/2 full and one empty but wet.

you could do this and have a person drinking the glass of water.

You could take a pic every hour concentrating on the amount of light. Or have several seasonal pics.
