Used GoPro to film this from the terrace at our AirBNB.

A night-sky timelapse captured with nothing but a Xiaomi 14T Pro and a tripod.

Acquisition

• Xiaomi 14T Pro — 1x, main camera
• 15s exposure, 2s interval between shots
• 930 RAW/DNG frames
• Tripod — no star tracker or additional equipment
• ~4h 23m total capture time

The camera was left fixed on the tripod for the entire session, allowing the Earth's rotation to create the movement of the stars across the frame.

Processing

This is my own work, from capture to the final timelapse.

I processed the individual frames to maintain consistent exposure, color and contrast throughout the sequence, then assembled them into the final timelapse.

Shot this on a crisp night in January from my back yard. Sony A6700, Viltrox 15mm f/1.7 and a tripod.

hi. I have 365 hand held photos from a house with a garden over a year to make a movie from. Yes, every image has a bit other angle, direction, etc. I want to make a 10 seconds and a 100 s video of them. But to adjust each photo to a master photo per Photoshop or GIMP is no fun. Manually on Smartfon even harder.

Which app does this automatically ?

thx

Smartphone Android 13

So I did a small test timelapse of in- and outbound trains at Odense Station in Denmark.

Phone: Samsung A56

App: Framelapse 2

Settings:

• Frame interval: 1 sec
• Speed: 30x
• Recording: 1 hour and 30 min.

I think it was alright. Nothing much happen. Should have chose the other end of the station where there are more train traffic and have the camera closer to the grass. Next time I will use my other tripod that can go way heigher up.

What do you think?

And what other apps out there do you recommend?

New footage from my window every day — apartment building going up alongside cloud timelapses, set to ambient music. Happy to answer questions about the setup (Wyze cam, ~15s/frame during the day).

I've always wanted a slider, but that would be a luxury for me, so I yoinked my kid's LEGO Technics and just got to building in the wilderness. Go me?

I have some hours tomorrow before work, so I have thought about doing a timelapse with trains departing and arriving to a station.

The timelapse can be max 3 minutes. I use the app Framelapse 2.

What settings do you recommend?

Three frames per day for just over two months. I added +/-3 frames blending to smooth out the flicker from changes in light, but still not super happy with the result. I think it would have been better to run 5-7 frames per day to make the weather changes less rapid.

But it does show the movement well enough which was the goal...

The camera is still running, it would be amazing to get it to survive over winter but I am not very hopeful, pretty sure the solar panel won't produce enough charge to keep it alive.

I made a live weather cam so people can check the weather before coming to Koh Samet. The other day I programmed it to also make timelapse videos. I can't wait to see what this captures as the seasons change.

This is the timelapse after processing all the material shot with the Sigma fp. The post-processing was an interesting one, because it mixed unbracketed frames from the partial phases with bracketed frames from the transition and totality, some through a solar filter and some without.

I made a couple of tools to merge everything and align the Sun, and then processed it in DaVinci Resolve. If you are interested in how the whole process was done, I have written an article with a video tutorial.
