This Time-Lapse Captures the Beauty of 21 Kinds of Flowers Blooming

Photographer Thomas Blanchard just released this time-lapse video that took him 4 months to create. It shows 21 different kinds of flowers blooming, as seen in 9,624 individual RAW photos captured at 5K-equivalent resolution (5184×3456) with a Canon 550D and 24-105mm.

“I created this video simply because I love nature,” Blanchard writes. “I always found flower timelapses fabulous, but most of the time they are made with a black background.” He therefore wanted to try a time-lapse project with colorful backgrounds, eventually settling upon vintage wallpapers from the 1960s and 1970s.
