    This is great. A few day time lapse of something like this would make a great screen saver. Or something a bit more subtle some sort of moving background.

    That's awesome! Were you sitting there pressing the shutter every 5 seconds?

    He has this contraption that you can plug into the camera and it'll click the shutter at the selected time interval.

    That just shows what a little patience will get you. Really good stuff. But tell me, just how many individual frames did you have to import into your editing app? Or is there a piece of software that handled this for you?

    Really nicely done. I've been meaning to do slow shutter speed experiments on time lapse stuff to see if I can inject a more blurry motion into things but haven't gotten round to it yet.

    I'll definitely try that out next time.
