Awesome Camera Obscura Timelapse Combines the Old With the New

Photography Tips  •  Time-lapse Photography

Daniel Tellman, a pinhole camera enthusiast, built a camera obscura for his daughter, which is a pretty awesome thing to do for anyone. Then, after spending time playing with the camera himself, he decided to document the magic the camera obscura captured using timelapse photography and a DSLR. The results are nothing short of enchanting:

Tellman set up the camera obscura to project on the drapes around a window and set the camera equipment up like you see here:

When the lights were out, he created this beautiful visualization of the world outside his window:

The timelapse video Tellman created, called Draperia Obscura, is dream-like.

The juxtaposition of the old techniques and recording using modern technology is part of what made this timelapse so great.
