Time Lapse Videos from the Faroe Islands
Timelapse Photography From The Faroe Islands

Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. Time-lapse photography can be considered to be the opposite of high speed photography.

View some examples of Time Lapse Photography from the Faroe Islands HERE.
