Lightlapse is the first app that allows you to capture day to night Time-Lapses on your DSLR or Mirrorless camera. You no longer need a $400 piece of hardware to capture the “Holy Grail” of time-lapses. All you need is your phone, camera, and a great composition. Lightlapse supports most Canon, Sony, and Nikon cameras that are Wifi enabled and connecting is extremely simple. Once connected, all you have to do is expose your shot and set how long you want to run for. After you time-lapse has started you can sit back and watch a preview of it as it progresses and even share it after it’s complete. Best of all, when you upgrade Lightlapse to remove the restrictions you gain access to our editing plugins for Lightroom and Photoshop to process your images before posting.
