#time-lapse
Monsoon III by photographer Mike Olbinski is a stunning collection of time-lapse videos showing how a monsoon forms. During the summer, the sun quickly warms the land. The air above it warms up as well so it rises and expands, turning into a low pressure system. Moisture-laden air from the oceans sweeps in, lifts up, condenses, and thus - storms are formed.
These gifs frankly do not give the video justice. Watch it on Vimeo.

New Horizons One Year Anniversary Time Lapse~
After 500 hours, different outfits, different weather, same location. My time in Animal Crossing has been a great one, one day at time, changes big and small~!

Enjoy this time lapse of me painting Lana Del rey.
Artichokes turn into beautiful purple ornamental flowers
Was too big to add directly onto Tumblr, so I made a YouTube channel to post my timelapses! There’s no background music so it’s BYOBM (bring your own background music).
A Paz time lapse, mayhaps?

Chasing Ice: Photog Captures Changes in Glaciers Through Time-Lapse Photos
Here’s the amazing official trailer for the upcoming documentary film Chasing Ice, which follows one man as he embarks on an epic photo project around the world:
In the spring of 2005, National Geographic photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth’s changing climate.
[…] Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers.
[…] It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet.
The About page on the Extreme Ice Survey website states,
Guided by the recommendations of glaciologists, in 2007 the EIS team installed its time-lapse cameras at sites that represent regional conditions and have high scientific value. Typically these cameras are anchored on cliff faces above the glaciers. It took six months of experimenting to come up with a camera system sturdy and reliable enough for our purposes. We use Nikon D200 digital single-lens reflex cameras powered by a custom-made combination of solar panels, batteries and other electronics. The cameras are protected by waterproof and dustproof Pelican cases, mounted on Bogen tripod heads, and secured against arctic and alpine winds by a complex system of anchors and guy wires. Each unit weighs more than 100 pounds. Solar panels collect power that is stored in batteries; customized controllers trigger the cameras only when there is sufficient light. Downloads of digital images occur as frequently as every few months or as rarely as once a year, depending on how remote a site might be.
All this is to ensure that the cameras survive long enough to create time-lapse images that span years — or perhaps even decades.
Using Time-Lapse Photography to See the Movement of Massive Glaciers
People sometimes use the expression “slow as a glacier” to describe something so stagnant that even the speeds of snails and molasses would feel inadequately fast in comparison. The fastest glaciers ever measured move at tens of meters per day, while the slowest ones may budge only have a meter over the course of a year. Most of the time, the movement is too slow for the human eye to see.
Luckily for us, there’s something called time-lapse photography. Back in 2004, PBS aired a NOVA episode titled Descent into the Ice, which followed photographers and adventurers as they ventured deep into the heart of a glacier found on Mont Blanc. One of the things they did was set up cameras to capture the movement of glaciers over extremely long periods of time. The video above shows 5 months of movement seen under a glacier moving 2 feet per day.
They also shot a similar time-lapse from above ground. This next video was shot using a camera fixed 650 feet away from the glacier, and shows the glacier sliding down the mountain over the course of one entire year:

i was following the pack all swallowed in their coats; with scarves of red tied ‘round their throats; to keep their little heads from fallin’ in the snow… ☀️
mod note: absolutely gorgeous music video, v nice song. check it out!~

mod note: when i hear “transform” i think of plants growing. maybe you do too.
