Time Lapse of Planes
Beautiful Time Lapses:
“Five hours of plane landing in 30 seconds” and “Landings at San Diego International”
As the holidays are getting closer many of us will fly “home” to our loved and close ones. When I was younger I used to be really afraid of flying, and every single trip was a long preparation. Which aircraft were I supposed to fly with, what were the accident rates, what are the actual odds of anything happening and so on.
Earlier today I found these two amazing time-lapse videos of planes, landing. What the most of us experience as smooth landings doesn’t look that smooth when they are time lapsed. Notice that the camera is still, and the planes are moving around, not the opposite, in the last one.
I think that these two clips would’ve been a big therapy back in those days, in the preparation of getting “home”.
The technique, with taking out the blue and use it as a “green screen”, seems btw really interesting.
I hope you have a great start of the week.

Is this one of the best duels ever?
Yesterday I came across this old clip of two famous Swedish Table Tennis players. This is a big sport world-wide, especially in China and when you see this video it’s hard to argue against their amazing skill.

Photos of irony :-)
A while back I received an e-mail from a good friend with some pictures of irony that’s gone viral. I guess they all speak for themselves.
Best wishes for the weekend
Great article that “shatter-your-image-of-historical-people”

Michael Jordan – From Sports Illustrated
3,3 seconds for 5 new wheels; 4 rubber, and 1 steering wheel
I nearly never misses an F1-race unless I’m not completely out of possibilities so last weekend was no exception from that, when F1 visited India. The race itself was good (as always), but not one of the best I’ve seen. Even though the race in itself was average one sequence was really amazing.
In my work we’re helping other companies to be more efficient and to make them achieve good processes, and I think this is as good as it gets when it comes to that.
During the beginning of the race Lewis Hamilton complained about not being able to hear the pit so good. If that was the reason for what was about to happen during the first pit-stop, I don’t know, but I think these 3.3 seconds really shows what this team sport is all about, perfection!
