Interval by Johan Van Barel (http://www.vanbarel.com)
The purpose is to create a set of images taken at a given interval in minutes and seconds. It can be useful for photography of slow moving or changing objects like trees, plants, flowers, planets, weather etc. Later, the images can be used to create a sequence in the form of a movie.
