Transitions

Or ‘Virtual Tours Through Time’ Or ‘Transition Time Lapse’

I have a page on ‘Before and After’ type of comparisons. But what if there is more than 2 images to display? So far I have developed two approaches to this:

  • Create a video using the images in sequence similar to a time-lapse (but at a slower pace!) As I am not sure what to call these short videos I have started making, for now I will call them ‘Transition time lapse’.
  • Use Virtual Tour software to achieve a more interactive experience.

Below I show two options with a sequence of photos of a tree taken over the course of about 10 months. The first shows the virtual tour option, the second shows the video option. A couple of advantages of the Virtual Tour method is the interactivity and the ability to zoom in to see the detail:

Below are the same images in a short video – the YouTube copy can be seen here should the website be a bit slow:

I have created a second ‘Transition Time Lapse’ of the tree for 2021. If this website is slow, you can also view this on my Youtube channel as well:

Garden Transition Time Lapse

The garden ‘Transition Time Lapse’ video below shows how our garden changes of the course of the year 2021. Or you can view the Youtube version here for a faster load:

This is the complete ‘Transition Time Lapse’ video of the garden for 2021.

Panoramic Transition Time Lapse

The videos below are 2 trials of using panoramic photographs for a ‘Transition Time Lapse’. The subject is a field next to the smallholding in Norfolk where we used to live – the photos were taken from a shed roof! First is the short version then the longer one. These can sometimes be slow loading in which case you can view the Youtube versions here (1) and here (2):
