  1. Good find. Curious how none of the trees or the branches seem to move at all - you'd have thought that with storms, the odd bit of wind and the movement of wildlife, there would be a little movement during the year....

  2. If I did this, I'd use the winter branches as a "skeleton" for the rest of the photos. It's not a continuous video shot, it's a few still photos, blended. I can see some alignment issues on the right edge of the picture, but they did a good job of stacking the images over each other.

    I found his blog, where he describes how he did it. Turns out, Photoshop has a stacking tool.

  3. Very nice to watch. Like a porchside view to the change of the seasons, as seen at a glance up from the daily paper.

  4. It'd make a lovely screensaver.. I think one frame every minute should just about do it (midnight-midnight ~ Jan-Dec)

  5. I think I would have been more inclined to name that video , "The Year Of Our Discontent", or ""Two Minute Warning", or possibly, "Hector's Cornflakes."
