“Time is Nothing” Traveling the World with Time Lapse Photography in Under 5 Minutes

Here’s a time lapse video from Kien Lam that we found roughly a month ago. We’re sure it’s made the round on the blog-o-internet-sphere but it’s a damn fine ride that deserves posting.

YOu can learn more about each scene on Kien lam’s website.

17 Countries. 343 Days. 6237 Photographs. One incredible journey.

Original Music: “Places and Faces” by William Lam. Will is an extremely talented musical composer whose range is barely touched in this composition he wrote specifically for the video. He’s also my little brother. If you want to commission William to write music, email him at MetaphysikaSounds[at]gmail[dot]com.

Good Morning, Josh Owens Time Lapsed New York City. Busy Day Ahead, Eh?

And good morning to you, faithful reader. Have you been missing us? We’ve been missing you. More on this mutual missing in a few days. Right now, enjoy 3 minutes in NYC under time lapse footage.

Be sure to give filmmaker Josh Owens a visit for more outstanding footage.

I recently spent a little over a month hotel hopping in Manhattan (March 12th to April 29th) shooting time lapse. These clips were pulled from over an hours worth of footage.

Music Break: From the Files of PaulStretch, A Dial-Up Modem Slowed Down 700%

Thanks to You Tuber Darkfalky we understand that ancient squelch that was once a tenuous umbilical to under construction animated gifs and pathetic AOL chat room conversations was actually a beautiful lullaby.

Our Strange Sky: Do You Remember When Lasers Cut the Night Sky?

Andrew Cooper, electrical engineer at Keck Observatory, captured this view from the location of another Mauna Kea telescope, the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) on the summit ridge. Cooper combined 23 photographs, each with 1 minute exposures, producing a photograph alive with star trails (as the Earth rotated for 23 minutes) and yellow lasers cutting through the sky.

“During the exposure, the Keck 2 laser [far right] is aimed right over the camera at the Milky Way’s galactic core,” Cooper told Discovery News. As the Earth rotated for those 23 minutes, the laser beam stayed focused on the center of our galaxy, making the laser appear “thicker” than the other two adaptive optics lasers on Subaru and Keck 1.

Our Gorgeous Sky: Terje Sorgjerd’s Observations from El Teide, Spain’s Highest Mountain

Between April 4th and 11th 2011 Terje Sorgjerd took his camera and visited Spain’s highest mountain El Teide(3718m). During the visit he filmed the hell out of the spectacular view he found. While he was there, a sandstorm hit the Sahara.

That is when something beautiful happened:

Interestingly enough my camera was set for a 5 hour sequence of the milky way during this time and I was sure my whole scene was ruined. To my surprise, my camera had managed to capture the sandstorm which was backlit by Grand Canary Island making it look like golden clouds. The Milky Way was shining through the clouds, making the stars sparkle in an interesting way. So if you ever wondered how the Milky Way would look through a Sahara sandstorm, look at 00:32.

Our Strange Sky: Above Hungary, Time Lapse of Discovery Separating from the ISS

“What’s happening here?” you ask. “Why is this so important?”

What you’re seeing below is a time lapse of the Space Shuttle Discovery separating from the International Space Station in the sky over Lake Bakonybél in Hungary. Being city(ish) bound it is rare we get to see the majesty of a non-light polluted sky. Any time something humans made is visible from the ground we can’t help but to smile and dream of a time we’ll be able to fly our own rocket ship to the moon and beyond.

Check out a video of these sequence below the jump.

Along with stars setting in the west, the two bright celestial beacons, Moon above and Jupiter below, leave short trails in this well-planned time exposure, a composite of 54 individual frames each 4 seconds long. On its final flight, the Space Shuttle Discovery and International Space Station form the second close pairing in the night skyscape. Still glinting in the sunlight in low Earth orbit, they gracefully trace overlapping arcs from lower right to upper left. Moon, Jupiter, Discovery, and ISS are reflected in the calm waters of Lake Bakonybél, Hungary.

Good Morning, Earth! You Look So Fine Time Lapsed at 17,239 MPH.

The Earth captured in time lapse by an astronaut at the International Space Station, cruising at 17,239 miles per hour—that’s 7.7 kilometers per second, or 4.7 miles per second.

Many thanks to Oregon State University for sharing.

Look down for more video…FROM SPACE.

More Love from Mars: Watch Alien Ice Sublimate

These images were acquired by NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander’s Surface Stereo Imager on the 21st and 25th days of the mission, or Sols 20 and 24 (June 15 and 18, 2008).

These images show sublimation of ice in the trench informally called “Dodo-Goldilocks” over the course of four days.

In the lower left corner, lumps disappear, similar to the process of evaporation.
