A Source of Photography Inspiration

Anurag Jetly, the photographer behind the Himalayas time-lapse we recently featured, has put together another time-lapse focusing on an entirely different subject: a cricket stadium in India, before and during a game. It’s an energetic time-lapse with an unusual perspective, going from an empty stadium to one packed with fans.

Anurag Jetly fell in love with the Himalayas twelve years ago when he first captured their beauty with a borrowed camera, six rolls of film, and hardly enough clothes to keep himself warm. More recently, he shot this beautiful time-lapse with a Nikon D800 while on a road trip through the Himalayas.

Photographer Rob Whitworth collaborated with urban identity expert JT Singh to make this incredible time-lapse exploring Shanghai’s diversity and eccentricity. ‘This is Shanghai’ takes you on a whirlwind tour of the city, from the iconic buildings of the financial district to the everyday details of street life.

QT Luong has visited each of the 59 US National Parks, and while photography is usually enough to capture each National Park’s unique beauty, the volcanoes of Hawaii were an exception. The amazing sight of lava flowing out of the earth and into the sea inspired him to make a short film using time-lapse and DSLR video.

Gerard Cosgrove put together this awesome video from 13 individual time lapses, shot in the same location and composited into one continuous sequence. The place is Brisbane, Australia, on the Kurilpa Bridge overlooking the Brisbane River.

If you have ever been in a wide open landscape the most interesting thing isn’t necessarily the landscape itself, but what you see coming over the horizon. Growing up in South Dakota the landscape itself can be beautiful at times, but that doesn’t compare to what the sky can do, especially at night.

A few nights ago, Brad Goldpaint had an unexpected surprise at Crater Lake and was able to capture and put together this beautiful time-lapse of that experience.

Pedro Simão recently spent 6 days in New York City and put together this interesting time-lapse which features the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Skyline, Top of the Rock, Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square, Flatiron Building, Manhattan Streets, and Bryant Park.

Samuel Orr shot this New York time-lapse over 4 trips from 2011-2012 using more than 100,000 photos. You can read more about this video here and see more of Samuel’s work on his website.

Shot by Thomas Pocksteiner, Piotr Jablonowski, and Fabian Orner. This video took them 14 days of shooting within 3 months.
