Beautiful Collection of Time Lapse Clips Captured in San Francisco. A couple days ago we featured a compilation of stunning time lapse clips shot in the desert by Mike Flores. The video above is a change in scenery, but epic nonetheless. Photographer Simon Christen shot the various clips using a Canon 40D (10-22mm, 24-70mm, and 70-200mm) around the San Francisco Bay Area over the course of a year. His camera was always in manual mode, and he adjusted the settings as the light changed due to things like fog and clouds. Time-Lapse Video Spanning 3 Years and 45,000 Photographs.

The idea is clever, but super lame. Can you think of anything else that satellite imagery can help you cheat at? iPhone cheats crack Britain’s biggest hedge maze in minutes (via Wired) Image credit: Cheating in the maze by Andrew* PetaPixel.
