Time lapse sequences have always amazed me, partly because of the difficulty in producing them, but also that it’s a dynamic showcase of what goes on around us that we don’t see. The photographer who shot this time lapse—Sean Stiegemeier—said about his video:
So I saw all of these mediocre pictures of that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of, so I figured I should go and do better. But the flights to get over took forever as expected (somewhat). 4 days after leaving I finally made it, but the weather was terrible for another 4. Just before leaving it got pretty good for about a day and a half and this is what I managed to get.
Sean shot this on a Canon 5d Mk II on a motorized dolly. I’d be curious to see the dolly set up he used. Eventually I would like to get into shooting timelapses like this one. See more of his videos on his Vimeo.
This is absolutely amazing. Thankfully it is the only footage I have seen of this volcano.
It never ceases to amaze me what the 5Ds are capable of when they are in the right hands.

That was incredible. Thanks for the link Shelby.
Thanks for posting this, it’s really cool to see something other than photos of it.
Wow, beautiful video. I thought it was quite good, especially considering the time frame.
@Wanken Wow, that was absolutely amazing. Great find Shelby.
@Matt Elliott These 5d’s really are incredible. The season finale of House was filmed entirely with the 5d. I’m pretty intrigued to see how it turned out.
