Got any time lapse sequences?
Not just long exposures, but also slices of Time recorded as it passed through a particular point in space; could be a flower blooming open in a vase shown in a sequence of photos, or a bullet passing through a water-filled balloon (we're not talking slo-mo here but an actual sequence of events) - that would be nice to see.
Maybe you track the growth of a tulip this spring as it shoots out of the earth, and you take a photo of it every week for five weeks, as it sprouts from tender shoot to full-blown blossom - those pics would be nice.
Or a bird as it builds and completes its nest.
Maybe you already have a sequence that shows bare land sprout a construction set, and in weeks or maybe a few months a skyscraper appeared as you kept record of the skyline.
These are the changes recorded that would fit - the constant change that Time writes on everything.
One caveat - the photos must be yours - and not of another's work - so that yeah, we can stay on topic (
GTPlanet Members' Photo-Blog and all that.
)
Stories accompanying the photos are always welcome - hey, some of us do read the articles.
To begin with - here is my Photo Story of a spontaneous occurrence that Time spun for me:
Long story short - as a general contractor I have to repair and repaint vacated homes to be readied for renting. A former tenant had left behind (amongst the discarded flotsam and jetsam) a half-withered Ficus elastica (commonly known as a rubber tree.) I took pity on this, had it transported to my office, threw it in a corner that had sufficient light, and doused the bone-dry earth in the pot with several bottles of spring water.
A few days later I notice this (I took a shot before I even realised what I was doing:
And a close-up:
A sudden rush of 'shrooms!
A night later I caught this:
Imagine my surprise the next morning to see this:
That was a fast life, I thought, sprout, bloom, wilt, end of story. Or rather I thought that was the end of the story. Not with Time around. Time stamped its will upon the scene. I was stunned the next day by a runaway multiply-and-be-fruitful situation:
A closer look at these things made me realise that I should get rid of them space-probes before they took over my whole office and all the earth in the other plants around.
A quick google with the right words found me an explanation of this spontaneous combustion:

So I had it repotted with fresh soil and had the yellow aliens and their soil fumigated and destroyed. As a fun guy I'm okay but not with sprouts like these.
I gave the pot off later to another tenant. I haven't see her since.

Looking forward to seeing y'all posting some sequences like this, too.
