Gobsmacking Timelapses
by Dave Wilson on Jul.21, 2012, under Photography
Is it just me, or is timelapse the big thing these days? I’ve seen an increasing number of rather good timelapse videos but a lot of them are beginning to look rather similar. These two, however, blew me away so I thought I would share them. I strongly encourage you to click the “Vimeo” link on the small videos below to watch them in their high resolution glory.
The first video “Within Two Worlds” was produced by Brad Goldpaint. Whereas it contains (albeit lovely examples of) some fairly standard “Milky Way rotating above mountains” clips, it also contains something I’ve not seen before – timelapse sequences including star trails. I’m having fun trying to figure out how he produced those sections.

The second video is built from a large collection of images shot from the International Space Station and is credited to Knate Myers, a photographer from Albuquerque. I don’t need to say any more – just watch it and be amazed.

These are awesome! I guess that’s what “gobsmacking” means. 😉 I would like to try this sometime. I too wonder how they got the star-trails, but I also wonder how to do a time-lapse with the camera moving as some of these pan and zoom in/out. That’s cool to me as well! Thanks for posting these!
