The Stars from Atacama
Atacama Starry Nights: Episode I
by Babak Tafreshi and Christoph Malin
This brilliant little film accomplishes something unique. Unlike any of the other astronomy time-lapse videos which have been flooding the internet of late, which simply inspire you with a gorgeous look at the heavens, this one will alter your vacation plans.
Flying Around the World in 90 Minutes - to Less Crappy Music
Those of you who follow the Brad Blogspeed Facebook page (you DO all follow the Facebook page, right?) may remember this stunning clip that I shared there last week. It's yet another fantastic time lapse video taken from the International Space Station, and when I posted it I added the comment:
"How awesome is this? Well, except maybe the music."
Toronto in Timelapse
Toronto Tempo
by Ryan Emond
I once wrote a full article about my love for Toronto, and rather than wax poetic about my place of birth again, I'll simply pull a quote from there.
"I proudly count myself as a life-long resident of Toronto. Hogtown. The Big Smoke. T-Dot. Tee-Oh. Toronto the Good. Hollywood North. Queen's City. Muddy York. (ok, I obviously visited Wikipedia) While I hold a small degree of shame in that I've never spent time living anywhere else, I can't help but feel that if I am to spend a lifetime in one city, then I've been fortunate enough to have been born in a good one."
Electromagnetic Art
Compressed 1 & 2

A few months back I did a story about skeptical designer Jason Permenter, and one of his quotes has stuck with me ever since. When discussing his transformation from a working scientist into a person in a creative field, he talked about what he saw as an interesting relationship between the two disciplines.
"Turns out design is science, but with the peculiar goal of producing something lovely."
Hmmm. I'm fairly sure that such a statement would get philosophy of science fans protesting rather quickly. After all, art is almost certainly not a kind of science, nor could it ever be. It can use experiment as a technique of course, but at a fundamental level art is governed by different forces, and has different goals.* All that being said, art can certainly share some of science's characteristics from time to time.**
Timelapse Shot from the International Space Station
Wow.
This was posted a few hours ago by astronaut Clayton C. Anderson (@Astro_Clay) aboard the International Space Station. It's only 14 seconds long, but it may be the most amazing 14 seconds you've ever seen. Not only do we see the earth zooming by us in timelapse, but the Aurora* is glimmeringly, gorgeously visible as well!
A Ride Through Muskoka - Part 2
All-Terrain Timelapse Experiments
by yours truly
Hey folks! A short post today to introduce you to my newest video — and it has to be quick, because I don't have a lot of time.
It's labour day after all, and school starts tomorrow. That means I have two children in desperate need of re-education on the morning routine. There are backpacks to locate, "getting yourself dressed" training to do, and haircuts to be had. The boys are suspect of this development of course, but I'm elated. No more weekdays spent in a desperate search for anything to entertain them! Yay!
All-Terrain Timelapse
A Ride Through Muskoka
a timelapse by yours truly
When I got my GoPro HD Hero camera this Christmas (thanks Dad!) the first intention was to use it on an ATV ride. The GoPro is contained in a sturdy, waterproof case, and it comes with all sorts of different specialized mounts, so it's perfect for sports photography. (surfing, skating, and such)
While a single glance shows that I'm no extreme-sports athlete, ATV-ing (or 'Quad-ing' as I recently learned it's called on the west coast) has become my new favourite hobby. I love hitting Muskoka's many trails in search of a little fresh air, some gorgeous scenery, and whole lot of serenity. In fact, I think my next vacation might be an all-dude trip to this place. In any case, I wanted to pair four-wheeling with my life-long hobby of making videos! (even if it's not the first time)
Mindrelic Does NYC Again
Manhattan in Motion
by Mindrelic
Everyone saw what happened the last time Josh Owens, aka Mindrelic, was set loose on New York City. That video, entitled simply "NYC - Mindrelic Timelapse" has hit over 990,000 views on Vimeo. Apparently it was the sort of video that even people who aren't into photography/cinematography paid attention to, because at the time it seemed like everyone from the postman to my Aunt Matilda was sharing it on Twitter and Facebook.*
Better Late than Never
Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse 2010
by William Castleman
I know I'm a month late here with this one, but since the winter solstice lunar eclipse was missed by so many people, I thought it might be nice to post the most digestible possible way to appreciate it. See the eclipse just like it happened, but just a little bit more quickly.
What's Lost in What Lapses - Sixth Edition
Timescapes: Rapture
by Tom Lowe
Some of you may remember the post I put up a little while back about my favourite Astronomy photos in which, amongst many fine images, I highlighted an awesome photo entitled “Blazing Bristlecone”. That photo was taken by Tom Lowe, and it won honours as 2010's Astronomy photo of the year.
