Long exposure photos of video games

posted by Jason Kottke   Sep 16, 2010

Rosmarie Fiore did this series of long exposure photographs of Atari games a few years ago.

Gyruss compressed

Fiore did a similar project with pinball machines...instead of photos, the ball was covered in paint and left trails on vellum. Reminds me of some of the other time merge media I collected awhile back. (via @brainpicker)

Nor'easter timelapse

posted by Jason Kottke   Mar 30, 2010

This is a radar timelapse of the 22 major storms to hit the Northeastern United States this winter.

From the Accuweather site:

These winter storms have dropped 30-40 inches of rain (and liquid snow) in the I-95 corridor, which would normally only receive 20-25 inches over the winter.

I'm not sure what to the call the effect in this video — timelapse stop-motion? panorama time-stitch? — but I haven't seen its like before.

Update: Coates posted an HD version of the same video.

This is two and a half years of construction at about 4 frames per day up until May 24, 2009.
