‘Gotham City SF’ Offers a Dark and Gritty View of the City by the Bay
“Gotham City SF” is a time-lapse and photo project by San Francisco-based photographer Toby Harriman that offers a black-and-white view of The City by the Bay that’s inspired by Gotham City, the fictional home of Batman.
After discovering the world of time-lapse photography recently, Harriman decided to revisit his “Gotham” concept in a new time-lapse project, and “Gotham City SF” was born. Here’s the time-lapse he created:
Harriman shot and edited this project over a number of years while doing freelance work and working at Lytro as a photo editor.
Everything you see was captured with a Canon 6D, Canon 5D Mark III, and a collection of Canon L lenses. For motion, Harriman used an eMotimo 3-Axis system and a Kessler Shuttle Pod Mini 8 foot dolly.
Here are some of the still photographs that went into the time-lapse:
