Time-lapse photography is not a new technique but it is fascinating. The frequency at which film frames are captured is made much lower than how we see humans see time pass by (We register what? Seconds? Milliseconds?). In this photography, time moves faster and lapsing because the rate is normalized.
Lapse Pi Touch DIY allows you to do this time lapse photography with greater control. See the video below to understand how tremendously successful this DIY is in performance.
With this the photographer can position the dolly on the rail via a motor control buttons (see the images above), change the motor pulse duration between shots, modify the delay between shots or the number of shots or to see what time is left for the current sequence; start and stop the time-lapse. All this is accomplished with a few simple screens with a simple and user-friendly touch interface.
The project consists of a PiTFT Mini Kit, which is a 320×240 2.8″ TFT display and Touchscreen from Adafruit and is beautifully compatible with Raspberry Pi. It allows control over the interface to drive the back-end time-lapse script which is available on the maker’s blog, in case you are interested. The advantage of PiTFT is that no external devices or connectivity is required, which makes the whole DIY more than an amateur project. And there are results to show it, in terms of the time lapse video below.
