Just threw this together as a learning project. This little python script will allow you to do time-lapse photography using a symbian device using Python S60 3rd Edition. The script asks you how many photos you wish to take and the delay between each picture. You can also choose different settings for the pictures.Tested only on a Nokia N80, might need some tweaking for other phone.
Haven’t found anything to take a time-lapse photograph of yet, maybe I’ll get the girlfriend some flowers tomorrow
Enjoy

Pretty wicked stuff. I can only imagine the implications if this was built in to S60. Prop your phone somewhere at a party and just let it snap pics thru out the night. The morning after you can see what crazy shenanigans occurred! My Canon has something in the same ballpark, I can set it to take up to 10 pictures, one right after the other. Never used that feature … maybe it is useless, maybe it isn’t. All I know is that I like time lapse images. Check out Foozia for the source code.
UPDATE: For some strange reason when I post the anigif it doesn’t want
to move. The problem is with my blogging engine, not the picture
itself. The image is being hosted at Foozia right now and if he wants
me to take it down due to bandwidth constraints then I will. I thought
it was pretty cool so I wanted to share it.
