Paris In Motion (Part III) Features Motion-Packed Timelapse Shots

May 20, 2013 By Eric Reagan

Photography Bay reader Mayeul Akpovi just cranked out another solid timelapse video of Paris. As you may have seen in Part I and Part II, Akpovi produces an incredible sense of motion in his timelapse work.

He uses a variety of gear to accomplish these shots:

  • Canon 5D Mark III
  • Canon 5D Mark II
  • Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
  • Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG Fisheye
  • Samyang 14mm f/2.8
  • Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD
  • Filters: ND2 to ND400

Akpovi accomplishes those surreal camera movements not with a large dolly, jib or mechanized slider, but with a simple tripod and some camera shake reduction in post processing. You can get a glimpse of this technique in an earlier behind-the-scenes video below.

You can see more of Akpovi’s work here on his Vimeo account.

    Anyone know how many exposures he made for the Paris piece? I suspect a shutter rebuild in his very near future.
