What is time-lapse photography?

Time-lapse photography is a method that helps you capture film frames at low frequency. But when it is played back to view the sequence, it moves faster.

For example, an image of a scene may be captured once every second, then played back at 30 frames per second; the result is an apparent 30 times speed increase. In a similar manner, film can also be played at a much lower rate than it was captured at, slowing down fast action, as slow motion or high-speed photography.

Gave a shot at it a while ago when photographing one of the flowers I received as a gift. Got bored after 12 days though :D
