I’ve been enjoying making these time lapse videos more than anything recently. I love being able to witness the wonder and beauty of the typically unseen and what is usually perceived as static world.
Mushroom Timelapse
Shiitake Mushrooms growing at Swainway Urban Farm in Columbus, Ohio. Each mushroom takes roughly a week to grow to full size before it is ready to harvest. Shot with a Canon 7D and remote shutter release.
Spring Blossom
Here I filmed a time lapse video of the sex organs of an Amaryllis (its flower) in bloom over the course of a week. I shot it on my Canon 7D using a timed shutter release of 8 minutes per frame. I love how we can use technology to see motion where otherwise we would see none. This shows that plants and other natural processes happen just the same as things on our time scale, only at their own pace. Perhaps we can start to see our own reality not as the best or only way of viewing the world, but rather one on a wide spectrum of different ways to experience the cosmos.
