TIME LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY

To create a time-lapse video, you simply configure the Raspberry Pi to take a picture at a regular interval, such as every minute, then use an application to stitch the pictures together into a video.This project aims at developing a simple time-lapse photography device with Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi camera. To get the most out of nature without tiring yourself, time-lapse photography is the best technique. For time-lapse photography the film frames are captured at much lower rate than the normal speed used to view the frames in sequence. Here, a photographer takes several pictures while the camera is locked in a still position for a preset duration that can vary from half an hour to several days. When it is played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster. One example where time-lapse photography can be used is the scene of the Sun rising or setting.
