Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Time Lapse 

@nbaltz These are very cool shots. What size were the original camera images? And how many seconds of running time do you have for those images? Thanks 5772cam

WOAH!! that was so cool. cant to do stuff like this when i get my camera. im getting the canon sx40, its possible right?

Exceptional work here. Really great exposure+shutter control to keep the the image consistent as the sun sets. Just wondering, what is the focal length you used? Im assuming something telephoto so you could shoot far, compress distance, and show all the activity?

@nbaltz And thats why at the end of the clip it looks like the airport break lights turned on.

The location is written in the "About" section of the video, along with a complete description of how the video was shot.

Airplanes look like bugs

According to the PAPIs you were too low :P

Captivating video...!

How far is Peoria from Phoenix???

amazing! thanks for the upload.

man humans are awesome!

amazing

Wow, great!

Awesome job!

This video was shot between 6:30PM-7:30PM. Each frame is a 5 second exposure, so the 24 seconds of video equates to one hour of real time. The winds were out of the east on this night, so PHX was initially landing planes out of the west. This is why you see the sunset in the background. After 7:30PM, the winds died down and PHX resumed their normal flight path of landing planes from the east. I stopped the time lapse after this 7:30PM transition.

@NikolaiUA The camera's focused in on Runways 7L & 7R. Pretty sure those on the right side of the screen are coming in and landing on Rwy 8 on the North side of the complex.

Why are there some planes on the right turning from base and then just flying upwind parallel to the runway without landing?

I see a pattern in that the planes make the final turn for their runway relatively late in the descent.

As good as it gets. Exceptional.

Flightbag-dropping WOW!

Very impressive!

VERY NICE!

WOOWWW!

very nice

Nice work! ... I am planning to do a similar film. So this is good inspiration. Thanks for sharing :-)
