Natural Phenomenon

Holy hell.

According to the information about this video - this was the first time lapse the guy ever made.

How is that possible? This piece is absolutely ridiculous. Sure, I'll admit this song is a little over used recently - but that is just me being nit-picky, because I literally can't find anything that isn't amazing in this video.

I'll be honest - I've always wanted to dabble into the time lapse world, since I love them so much, but I've never had the time or the equipment. But, within the last couple days, I've planned a trip to Spain over the holidays (wahoo!) and will be in London, Madrid, Seville, and hopefully many other locations. So what does this have to do with anything? This video inspired me. I want to buy a camera (one of those 'action cams') and carry it with me. Doing everything. Packing. Driving to the airport. Walking around the airport. Boarding the plane. The connecting cities. My adventures in Spain. Who knows if it'll turn out, or if I'll have to time, but it's worth a shot.

And since this piece moved me enough to consider all the logistics, that only proves how amazing it is. To be honest, I've watched it probably 10 times since seeing it earlier today. It's absolutely mesmerizing. It's rare to see time lapses with a lot of camera movement, but this guy nailed it - even managing to time it to the music (or vice versa). Regardless - still impressive.

I'm literally in awe of this and can't get enough of it.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
