Time Lapse – Rail Bridge Replacement, Cow Lane, Reading from Chris Wilkinson on Vimeo.

Upper Cut Productions was commissioned by BAM Nuttall and Network Rail to film a rail bridge reconstruction project in Reading, during the Christmas period of 2011.

3 weather-proofed time lapse cameras were installed in various locations to capture the progress of the new bridge construction – they took nearly 1/4million photographs over a 6 month period.

Following the short video of the bridge move between 24.12.11 and 28.12.11, this video reveals the full project from the bridge construction to the site clearance after New Year.

This is one of the best time lapse videos of anything I’ve ever seen. What an incredible construction job, building the bridge and moving it. And the fact that they used multiple cameras and wove the time lapse together so beautifully does justice to the amazing construction job. Wow.

Life of flowers from VOROBYOFF PRODUCTION on Vimeo.

Excellent flower time lapse work by Vorobyoff Production. I’m not crazy about photographing roses but they come off quite well in this piece.

Zoom full screen so you can see the details.

Pipe Plant from Sasha Aleksandrov on Vimeo.

This is incredible time lapse movie of the painting (in classic Russian Constructivist style) of an old Soviet era pipe plant in Russia.

Read the Colossal post for some stills and more info on how photographer Sasha Aleksandrov did it.

The [Canon Hack Development Kit (or C.H.D.K. for short)] software has allowed photographers using more than 50 models of Canon PowerShot cameras to reprogram the time lapse instructions to record construction projects or to use motion-sensing programs to capture animals in the deep woods. It can also be used to alter the camera’s exposure control to produce imaginative images in difficult lighting.

Wow, fantastic piece by Peter Wayner on a loosely knit group of developers who write and share firmware hack scripts for Canon PowerShot cameras.

Exclusive unseen video footage of the Miracle on the Hudson, flight 1549 New York City from David Martin on Vimeo.

This is a wonderful time lapse piece by David Martin of the US Airways Airbus A320 that went down in the Hudson as it lay tied up waiting to be lifted to a barge.

Note that it was shot with an inexpensive Canon point and shoot camera.

Zoom to full screen for best effect.

The Longest Way 1.0 – one year walk/beard grow time lapse from Christoph Rehage on Vimeo.

Great time lapse video. Timely given that I’m doing long walks and maybe growing my beard a bit longer.
