:RETURN_RESEARCH [time lapse]:

Whilst thinking along the lines of the title return time lapse photography sprung into my head. Before I begin for anyone that isn't familar with time lapse the en.wikipedia.org definition can be found below....

Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. Time-lapse photography can be considered to be the opposite of high speed photography.

Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, such as motion in the sky, become very pronounced. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of undercranking, and can be considered a borderline form of stop motion animation.

I found this interesting in relation to the term return because it involves essentially returning to the same place, exactely, and repeat a picture over time.

Here are a couple of examples of time lapse that i particulary enjoyed....
