flight patterns from Charlie McCarthy on Vimeo.
Charlie McCarthy took a bunch of long exposure photos of bugs flying under a street light and put the photos together in this video that shows just how crazy some of these bugs’ flight patterns are. [via]

Death Cab for Cutie – Little Bribes from Ross Ching on Vimeo.
To create the video above featuring music by Death Cab For Cutie, Ross Ching pulled out just about every video and animation trick in the book from long-exposures, to time-lapses, and even stop-motion. Ross details how he went about making the video on his website if you care to read about it more in depth.

Galactic Center of Milky Way Rises over Texas Star Party from William Castleman on Vimeo.
William Castleman captured this amazing time-lapse of the starry night sky at a Texas Star Party on April 21-22, 2009 (9:20PM to 6:43AM). Using a 15mm fisheye, he captured many images of the sky at 20 second exposures every single minute and then put them together in this video which shows the images at 15 frames per second. You can clearly see the Milky Way in all of its splendor. Wow. Just WOW!
Thanks Soup!

Signaltheorist did something really neat with a new Roomba he got. He shut off all of the lights in his room for 30 minutes and captured a long exposure of the path that the Roomba makes when it goes about cleaning the area. The resulting photo is a mess of circles and lines that somewhat resemble flight paths. I wonder what the paths would look like in a bigger room. I should get our Roomba out and see.

This is a photograph of the Clifton Suspension Bridge over the Avon River Georgia in Bristol, UK. The lines you see over the bridge are the movements of the sun over a 6-month period from December 17, 2007 to June 21, 2008. For the entire 6 months, this image was exposed onto the film plane and the result is what you see above — a slightly haunting image of this. That’s pretty remarkable if you ask me.
The photograph was taken by Justin Quinnell and you can see a larger version over at APOD.
