For several weeks, I’ve been unable to return to Anglican Cathedral tower for the Thursday evening viewings in order to keep fine tuning my technique due to the poor weather we’ve been experiencing. Thursday, just gone, was the last scheduled night viewing from the roof of the tower. So, I decided I would pay a visit come rain or shine. The addition of the Liverpool ONE Wheel on the skyline gave me even more reason to go. To my good fortune, the weather was almost ideal; plenty of clear, blue sky, interesting cloud formations and most importantly it was dry!
Here’s the time lapse video clip from this latest trip.
Interestingly, I just noticed one of my earlier time lapse videos made top spot of Flickr’s Explore for October 17th 2009. It may not stay there indefinitely, but I found it an interesting occurrence nonetheless.
Just as with SEO and religion, I’m not really one for discussing possible theories about how Flickr measures interestingness. I have my own theories about such things and don’t feel the need to convince anyone else unless they’re paying me for it. I will say this about Explore: I think it is more a measure of marketing rather than photography/videography. Perhaps, you can understand why I think this is? Agree/Disagree?

Excellent timelapse! I tracked it down and made if a favorite on flickr. Well done! I especially like the fact that you kept it going even at night. Super cool!
If you don’t mind me asking, how many photos did it take and what frame-per-second rate did you end up using?
Again, great video!!
