This is incredible.

The depth he creates is amazing.

Gotta watch..

Interesting. I don't mind the so-called "tilt-shift" effect on timelapses giving that miniature model feel, and that side of it was very well done.

Didn't think that much of the transition effect with the blur coming through the scene. Novel idea, but don't think it pays off IMO.

Great legoland look.

I have never seen tilt shift until now. I have heard all about it. I like the miniature model look it gives.
Not a big fan of the blurry transition either.

That's weird. It's pretty much the exact opposite of the usual tilt-shift process. The normal objective is to straighten perspective and increase depth of field.

It does make it look like a toy village.

Very creative and colourful, music fits well also. Not sure I'd have the patience for all that processing.

Strangely hypnotic. interesting stuff Mike, thanks for posting.

Amazing ...all the cars and people looked like they were ' toys '
A '' miniature'' world kind of thing.

Flash ..!!

Other than the tilt and shift, the thing that sets this timelapse apart from all the other ones that showcase cities, is the incredible light he has chosen to photograph in. That light... damn.

I also think the blur transitions actually fits in quite well, considering it was shot with a tilt and shift lens!

That's very unusual and very interesting. I couldn't tell for a while if it were an actual scene or some sort of movie set.

Samyang has released a 24mm tilt shift lens. That could be very good. The Canon 17TSE seems to set the standard.

Greg.

Awesome, I don't get what the tilt shift lens does to it though

First thing that grabbed my attention.
I don't think the 'toy' look would have been as pronounced without the light. Very impressive.
