PeanuckleJive Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Always wanted to give this a go, but never really had the chance to do it. Now i'm in Scotland I may aswell give it a go on the drive back I guess Equipment? Well, I have my iPhone 3gs, and that's it! Got a windscreen mount for it so I can have it fairly well anchored for the trip. Got a timelapse app for taking the photos, set to take one every 5 seconds (I can change this, obviously) at 5 second intervals, I'll have about 6000 photos at the end of the drive, But I'm wondering if 5 seconds is too long for an interval? Obviously on a motorway it doesnt matter, but on twisty B roads there's a lot that can happen in 5 seconds... In a nutshell, who else has done a ghetto time lapse drive before?

davey1991 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 go out and make a short tester? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Socks Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hi, Thing to look at is how long the final sequence will be. 6000 frames at 25 frames per second is 240 seconds or 4 minutes, sounds about right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Once you hit the A82 change it to about 2 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Once you hit the A82 change it to about 2 seconds. Absolutely LOVE that road!! And when it joins onto the A85 Edited October 25, 2010 by isitafox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Good call on 6000 frames @ 25 frames per second being 4 minutes I'm gonna give it a go tomorrow, go for a drive and see what happens. Might post up the result here if it's any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm interested to see how it will turn out when I'm just using an iphone, attached to my windscreen with a suction cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Didn't know you could get an app for the iphone, pretty cool. I did a timelapse on my SLR, one a second but you'll be going a lot quicker in a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Interesting, Because one every 5 seconds in a car means the distance between shots will be HUGE but, I don't have the capacity on my iphone to store more than 6000 could stop for a break half way and clear my phone onto my laptop I guess, that'd give me more room technically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeanuckleJive Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Oh aye, the A85 is such a nice road to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 This has got me intrigued. I just downloaded an app for my HTC Desire to do it, and I might give it a go tomorrow. Just need to improvise a dash mount. (Duck tape will help). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Rob P's time lapse in Plymouth is quite cool (didn't realise you lived in P-Town!!). But what struck me was the intensity of light changes and how the main precinct was looked warm and welcoming then the side spurs and underpasses and crossings looked so dark and sketchy!!
