My Raspberry Pi Projects…

Time Lapse Photography

Status: Started, and having fun!

Summary: A simple project to use a Raspberry Pi with the Pi Camera to capture regular still images of, say my street, over a period of many hours and then stitch them together into a movie.

Details:

Using a Raspberry Pi Model B v2 and a Pi Camera. Running the latest Raspbian OS and Python v2.7.

My Python program is largely based upon what I found in the Raspberry Pi Learning resource.

In a nutshell…

At a terminal prompt:
“sudo apt-get install python-picamera python3-picamera”

Create a “Capture” folder in the Pi User home folder.

Using IDLE, create this simple Python program.

Run the program via F5 in IDLE and watch!

Stitch the images together into a movie. I used my Win8.1 laptop and the Images to Video software.

Next steps… Get a USB HDD for my Raspberry Pi and set the program up to run for a lot longer!

Here is the simple setup and headless access recipe that I use… Enjoy!
