Time Lapse
Time-lapse photography is a valuable photographic technique for accelerating scientific processes that would otherwise be too slow to maintain student interest. Most phones cameras record at 30 frames/second, which for normal daily activities creates a smooth image
Frame-rate - Negative After Images - Negative afterimages are caused when the black & white photo receptors (rods) and color photo-receptors (cones), adapt to overstimulation and lose sensitivity. Photoreceptors that are constantly exposed to the same stimulus exhaust their supply of photopigment, resulting in a decrease signal to the brain. This phenomenon can be seen when moving from a bright environment to a dim one, like walking indoors on a bright day.
