I took photos every few minutes for about a year. I wrote some custom code to pick out a set of frames from several consecutive days, but with the sun at the same angle in the sky. I then blended these frames together. This makes a ghostly look, without the bright flashes of cloud passing or weather changing. As I moved forward in time, I selected frames from the next angle in the sky, so it looks like only a day passes. You’ll see the shadows move as if a day passes, when really a year goes by.

Very cool! We tried to do the same thing with a series of photos taken along the solar eclipse, but didn't have enough density or consistency to make it compelling.
This is awesome. What kind of hardware are you using? If you don't mind.
Very cool.
