Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique in which film frames are captured at a low frequency and when replayed at a normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. Sometimes a time lapse video can be confused with a stop motion animation. Time-lapses are the perfect way to capture a city-vibe or the beauty of a landscape on camera.
Metropolises from all around the world have always amazed me because each of them is a mixture of different cultures, different types of architecture, different historical backgrounds and different development levels — and here I’m reffering mostly to technology. But all these characteristics put together give a unique vibe to each one of these cities. For that reason I love the way these cities were captured on camera, in these short but beautiful time-lapses:
