A making of time-lapse film of the magnificent Kelpies. The sculptures (or rather the park they live in) opens to the public next weekend with a light show which ought to provide great photo ops for local photographers in central Scotland. Unfortunately, I can't be there but hope to go and visit them soon. I think they're great. They take their name from nasty water demons that used to lure people to their deaths by letting them ride on their backs then dragging them down into the depths. Not so nice! But the sculptures are actually a tribute to heavy horses like the Clydesdale, and their contribution to Scottish working life.

And a link to an article on how the film was made - all 120,000 images of it!

Very interesting, thanks for posting.

Does anyone know of software that can turn a series of still pix into a movie?

Lightroom does it nicely, and Photoshop with a bit more work.
