One More “Tilt-Shift” Timelapse Video
Sorry if these are getting old, but I came across another jaw dropping time lapse video to share with you. This one uses the same “tilt-shift” effect that was used in the last one I posted. This effect makes it appear as though the subjects in the photograph are “miniature”, however this is not the case. These are indeed real photographs. The only “doctoring” is the blurring required to pull off the effect. Check it out!
Be sure to watch it full screen to get the full effect and head on over to watch it on Vimeo in HD.
Another Amazing Time Lapse Video
I’ve been following Ross Ching’s work for quite some time now and he produces amazing time lapse landscape videos. To top it off, he releases HD versions, 720p and even 1080p, for everyone to view. If you haven’t had the chance to experience true HD video, look at this.
For his latest video, Eclectic 3.0, Ross used a photography technique known as “tilt-shift” to produce images which appear as though the subjects are miniature models. The human eye can be “tricked” into seeing cars, houses and people as though they are tiny miniatures.
Check out the 720p and 1080p HD videos at his website.
Timescapes – WOW!
While I was getting the last post together, I noticed that Phil, author of Bad Astronomy, had posted an amazing video that I just have to help spread. I’ve done some time lapse photography myself…and it didn’t turn out well. So I have to give kudos to Tom @ Timescapes for the amazing quality of work. I hope you enjoy this visual wonderland as much as I did. Take a peek!
