A History of the Sky
Loading...
Uploaded by obeyken on Nov 14, 2011
This is a year-long time-lapse study of the sky. A camera installed on the roof of the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco captured an image of the sky every 10 seconds. From these images, I created a mosaic of time-lapse movies, each showing a single day. The days are arranged in chronological order. My intent was to reveal the patterns of light and weather over the course of a year.
This video is designed to be viewed in a large format, so it's best viewed in full-screen mode at 1080p.

Wonderful and so interesting - watching the rain droplets on a wet day, the birds and people flash by, the different cloud formations and their speed.... I stupidly was expecting more from the sunsets and really surprised (der) that it gets dark before 9pm even in summer in SF.

@jonaschau If it was Scotland, the blue boxes would be someone putting a blue board in front of the camera so as to not depress the researchers when reviewing the results ... ;P

great & incredible work and display of nature's show :) i still can't believe how many clear days you had during winter time. not as clear as those in summer, but still.. pretty decent for doing some observations (depending on how much LP there is around). well done! thanks for sharing ;)

would have been interesting to actually see the proper footage. Maybe next time, you could avoid chopping it to pieces before you put it up. Thanks though. I guess it's for times like these people invented the expression ' It's the thought that counts'. Thanks for the thought... Shame it didn't make it to the finished article...
