I have an awesome idea. I want to do a time lapse of a very large shop. Here's the challenge: It will take about a month to do the compilation of shots. I need to know the duration between shots as I want it to be fluid.

How to keep the camera on for the duration of the day is my greatest hurdle. I cant tell you what I will be photographing for security reasons, but a day is considered 18-20 hours with some full 24 hour days thrown in.

Has anyone done anything like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I will be using a Sony a35 with Tamron 70-200 f2.8.

Whew! Now I can read it.

Sounds like you need an AC power supply to your camera, and tether it to a laptop.

Or if not a laptop, you can tether it to a cheap android phone (you can pick one up for 20 bucks). There are plenty of DSLR remote apps which can do exactly what your wanting if you just spend the $5 to make the cable. Might lesson the amount of cash you have sitting there...

Any for iPhones?

Never mind, I was thinking control camera from phone. You meant timelapse photo taken with phone.
