One Year in 2 minutes

One Year in 2 Minutes!

If you have a simple 2 minutes to spare this is a pretty cool video. They are of still shots shot every 30 minutes for a year. The music accompanying the video is pretty cool too. It shows from January to the end of the December. 

Eirik Solheim has a fascinating video to show you. The Norwegian media professional has created a true video time-lapse from more than 3,500 high-resolution images that were shot from one location during all of 2010. You can view the video, titled "One year in 2 minutes" on his Vimeo page. 

Solheim , a project manager with the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, said he placed his old Canon 400D, a single-lens reflex camera with an EF-S 10-22 in his window in January of 2010. He then hooked the SLR to his home server, used an adapter to power it, and controlled the camera with software. 

Solheim isn't finished with this project. "I am working on a video based on all the images," he said. "Nine minutes in total, the geek version. That will feature images from both day and night."

I am totally going to geek out and watch the nine minute version.

If you have the two minutes, I suggest that you watch this video.
