Want to experiment with time-lapse photography? Grab your compact camera and a $3 egg timer, then come this way.
This hack is pretty useful if you want to shoot an epic time-lapse, but don't want to manually move a tripod head or the camera around a set axis every time you take a shot.
An intervalometer is a feature that is built into some cameras, such as the GoPro, which tells the camera to take photos at set intervals in time. If your camera doesn't have this feature and you are using a Canon compact, use the Canon Hack Development Kit (CHDK) - http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK by downloading it and running it from your memory card. Then, run the Countdown Intervalometer script - http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Countdown_Intervalometer
You can also be a bit more sneaky with this hack by deconstructing the egg timer and installing a 1/4-inch screw so that the camera sits more securely on the base. The Blu Tack is a lot easier, however, and it works just as well.
