How to take time-lapse photography with a mobile phone

With the continuous upgrading of mobile phone cameras, the shooting function is becoming more and more powerful, and the time-lapse photography function is a shooting method that many people like to try. Through time-lapse photography, we can freeze the time and capture some interesting scenes that we can't usually observe, such as sunrise and sunset, star orbit, cloud flow and so on. Next, I'll show you how to take time-lapse photography with your mobile phone.

First, choose the right shooting tool.

To shoot time-lapse photography with a mobile phone, you need to choose professional shooting application software. There are many free or paid shooting applications on the market, such as IMO and Lapse It. These applications have different functions and characteristics, so you can choose the one that suits you according to your own needs.

Second, set camera parameters.

After choosing the shooting tool, we need to set the camera parameters according to the shooting scene. Generally speaking, we need to set the following parameters:

1. Shooting interval: that is, the time interval between each photo. Generally speaking, it takes 30 seconds to 1 minute to photograph the orbit of a star, but it takes shorter time to photograph the cloud flow.

2. Shooting time: that is, the length of time required for shooting. This parameter varies according to different shooting scenes.

3. White balance: If shooting at sunset or sunrise, you need to pay attention to the setting of white balance in order to shoot accurate colors.

Third, fix the camera.

When shooting time-lapse photography, the camera needs to be stable. Therefore, we need to fix the camera on a tripod or other brackets to avoid the camera shaking and blurring the photos.

Fourth, start shooting.

After completing the above settings, we can start shooting. In the process of shooting, it is necessary to avoid touching the camera so as not to affect the stability. If you need to adjust the camera angle or other parameters during shooting, you can use the remote control or mobile phone application to complete it.

Post-processing of verbs (abbreviation of verb)

After shooting, we need to import the photos into the editing software on the computer or mobile phone for post-processing. In the post-processing, we can cut the photos, adjust the colors, add music and so on, so as to take more beautiful time-lapse photos.

In a word, shooting time-lapse photography on the mobile phone needs to choose appropriate shooting tools, set camera parameters, fix the camera, start shooting and post-process. I hope this article can inspire you to take more beautiful time-lapse photography with your mobile phone.
