Time-lapse photography might seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be a challenge. With the right gear and the right photography advice, you can master it in no time.
In his stunning timelapse entitled Epochs, photographer Sean Goebel compiled sequences shot in California, Arizona, Utah, and Hawaii to create a piece of photographic art that depicts some of America’s most beautiful landscapes. However, at just over 4 minutes long, the presentation doesn’t even begin to represent the hours of work and the dedication and determination that went into this labor of love.
On November 27, 2012, photographer and programmer Roderick Lee Mann captured a timelapse video that some may compare to winning the lottery in photography—something rather impossible to plan or predict: a perfectly-framed formation of an end-to-end rainbow. Here’s what happened: While on a vacation to Hawaii, Rick Lee Mann was in a hurry to experience the beautiful sunset […]
When you hear the word New York City, nature is typically not one of the first things to come to mind. However, photographer Jamie Scott’s latest photography project involves just that. Scott spent six month taking photos in Central Park during the seasonal changes into autumn to create an amazing timelapse: Scott shot in 15 […]

To make matters worse for the thief, […]

In a continuation of the series we reported on a few weeks ago, Thrash Lab brings us a new timelapse video—this time of Washington D.C., with its roads and streets completely empty: Adding this video to the list of others, including New York, San Francisco, and Seattle, the artists at Thrash Labs fly us through […]
This unusual time-lapse video shows an endless march of airplanes approaching at London Heathrow Airport. It has gained quite a bit of attention because of the delicate appearance of these massive airliners: They look almost like toys in fast motion, as we see the vulnerable and erratic wobble with which they soar, as the weather […]
