Beautiful time lapses of nature

 

 BEAUTIFUL TIME LAPSES OF NATURE

   

These stunning photos act as postcards for one photographer, who has traveled all over the globe, braving freezing temperatures to create the ultimate time-lapse video. Photographer Dustin Farrell, 36, spent four years perfecting his technique and travelling all over the world in his quest to capture the stunning nature time-lapses. The dramatic photo shoots would take anywhere from 30 minutes through to a painstaking six hours.

Dustin, who lives in Arizona, USA, merged almost a million pictures together to create the incredible timelapse video of scenes such as a lightning storm over the Grand Canyon and an explosive display of the Northern Lights in Iceland.

Dustin said: 'I was first attracted to time lapse photography because of the ability it gave me to create something that cannot be created with any normal video or film camera.

'The hardest part of time lapse is having the patience to get the footage. Finding a great location and setting up the right shot can also be very challenging.

Breathtaking time lapses of some of world's most remote locations

Process:

Process: Time-lapse photography is a technique where photos are taken individually and then compiled together in a sequence, when played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and lapsing. Pictured: Horse shoe bend in Utah

Travel:

Travel: 'I still have a few more places to travel to, I would love to visit New Zealand and I think a shoot in Las Vegas would show my versatility as a photographer,' said Mr Farrell

'My favourite shot was inside the cave with the Indian ruin in the foreground. Everything came together perfectly for that shot, which took a lot of planning and preparation that was followed by a long hike and difficult setup.

'I thought that we were going to get rained out by an incoming Summer storm. Instead, after an amazing one hour lightening show the storm cleared to reveal the Milky Way'.

Dustin has been a professional photographer for 14 years and currently runs his own production company in the USA.

Impressive: He manages to capture scenes which would otherwise be lost in normal photography. Pictured: The aurora in Iceland over ice
