Time-lapse photography \/ video have made the observation of a lot of painfully slow processes not so boring. In fact it makes the spectacle enjoyable in most cases. The technique involves recording a process, natural or man-made, onto film with very long exposure times. Or, as mentioned on Wikipedia<\/a>, \u201cTime-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. Time-lapse photography can be considered to be the opposite of high speed photography<\/a>.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Aaron Rowe, a blog author on the Wired.com<\/a> blog, has presented a list of what he thinks are the top ten time-lapse videos of naturally occurring processes<\/a>. I\u2019m not convinced that they\u2019re all the best ones out there but they\u2019re fascinating to watch for sure. It was difficult to decide which one to embed here in my post but I have chosen the \u2018Thunderstorm\u2019 video which is on #3 on Aaron\u2019s list. The rapidly passing clouds constantly aglow due to lightening make a great spectacle. Follow the above link to the article for the rest 9. Happy time-lapsing!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
