    One of the interesting things of this sort of time lapse photography is that this guy does his with individual photographs, instead of time lapse video. The problem with video is that each individual frame is only a few kilobytes of information. What this guy did was to stream a series of individual photographs where each frame has megabytes of high dynamic range info. This makes the images much more detailed, and as such much more visually powerful. A true work of art whose beauty must be seen to be believed :yes:

    Even on my shitty samsung monitor, the visuals were so realistic I felt that had I simply reached out, my hand was sure to go into the monitor; that's how good they were. Amazing stuff.

    Below is an ABC news report on how it was done:
