How to shoot the mobile phone in time delay?

Time lapse photography is also called time lapse photography. This is a shooting technique that compresses time. By taking a group of photos, you can compress the process of minutes, hours or even days and years into a short time and play it in the form of video.

Time-lapse photography can be regarded as the opposite of high-speed photography. Time-lapse photography is usually used to shoot urban scenery, natural scenery, astronomical phenomena, urban life, architectural manufacturing, biological evolution and other topics.

Let's share some experience of shooting time-lapse photography with mobile phones, hoping to help you in your future creation.

1. To keep the picture absolutely stable, a tripod is essential.

2. The mobile phone battery should be sufficient. We may have to shoot for a long time, at least 10 minutes or even a few hours. It is recommended to fix a mobile power supply on the tripod to charge the mobile phone at any time. This has another advantage, that is, it can avoid the blow of Apple's mobile phone in cold environment.

3. The storage space of mobile phone must be large enough. Time-lapse photography needs to take a lot of photos, so be sure to reserve the available storage space of your mobile phone.

4. Cell phone signal must be turned off. This should not be difficult to understand. For example, when you were filming, a phone call suddenly came and all your efforts were in vain.

5. The shot of a scene should not exceed 10 second. It's best to take more pictures and then edit them through later software, such as VUE.

6. The time-lapse photography function of the mobile phone is relatively simple, and parameters such as frame rate and interval time cannot be adjusted. It is recommended to download professional apps, such as lapse it (Apple Android Universal), and Apple mobile phone users can also choose procam5.

7. Calculate the shooting time as follows

Shooting time = (interval time+shutter speed) x frame rate (frames per second) x final image duration (seconds)

For example, if I want to get a 10 second film with a frame rate of 25 and an interval of 4 seconds, then I need to take 250 photos in the early stage, which takes 1000 seconds, about 17 minutes.
