Timelapse is a great way to pack in large amounts of visual information in a really effective manner. Its often used to document construction projects and display star trails. Then you have certain people who take this simple technique to a whole new level. Check out Christoph Rehage’s awesome documentation of his inspiring trip through China.

DSLRs are quickly crossing boundaries into the realm of video. Almost all new cameras announced by Canon and Nikon have support for HD video. Its only a matter of time when the next Oscar winning movie will be shot using a medium format DSLR built into a cell phone.
But even before your camera could take that 1080p video, you could still make a video using time lapse. Video is just 24 pictures per second. Check out Keith Loutits approach to time lapse using it with a tilt shift lens to create a video about the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, to the tune of Megan Washington’s “CLEMENTINE”. I have probably seen this video dozens of times and it still mesmerizes me everytime.
A beautiful collection of videos including time lapses, shot using the Canon 5D Mark II. The night sky shot is reminiscence of an Arte Wolfe shoot. To see more of Tom’s videos, check out Tom @ Timescapes
