This video was shot between 6:30PM-7:30PM. Each frame is a 5 second exposure, so the 24 seconds of video equates to one hour of real time.

The winds were out of the east on this night, so PHX was initially landing planes out of the west. This is why you see the sunset in the background. After 7:30PM, the winds died down and PHX resumed their normal flight path of landing planes from the east. I stopped the time lapse after this 7:30PM transition.

@nbaltz

These are very cool shots. What size were the original camera images? And how many seconds of running time do you have for those images?

Thanks
