Wanted to do this for the longest time and finally did it. Solstice day in Iceland, from midnight to midnight #iceland #photography

@akiran_n@onlyfranz.com I used a tripod, a webcam and a timelapse software so I don't have to wake up every half an hour. Really simple setup. But next time I'll use my DSLR - the webcam quality is very poor, and it made the image annoyingly too dark - this is how it actually looked like at midnight, way more light

@hejchristian@front-end.social yuppp, the 5AM sun was not very supportive of my idea to make a nice clean image maybe next year I'll do it from the balcony

@xs4me2@mastodon.social I was really hoping for a clear sky the whole day (though this is not a thing in Iceland, I should know better), so that it would be even more striking how much light there is during the night. But some say the image is more interesting with clouds

@flipper@mastodonapp.uk rumor has it it's on vacation in Antarctica

@wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place 100% true. Icelanders have two modes, cozy hibernation in winter and manic raging in summer. Sleep is hard, and the lack of it shows. Darkness is not as annoying as the black ice covering all sidewalks

@xyla@shitpost.trade here you go - https://cloud.nataliavish.com/s/WzbYQD2QRLJDLrs The quality is not amazing though so probably not very good for wallpaper

@hugo@social.treehouse.systems yeah that's the thing, like somebody mentioned, having wider slices is a bit more interesting since you get more information about the actual space, vs. a million slices which might make the image too noisy

@hugo@social.treehouse.systems I'd love to do that too - but I'm not sure (yet) how to automate the vertical slicing of images. I did this one manually, but with hundreds of photos that would be too much

@wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place it melts during the day and then freezes again overnight. But surely they could do _something_, at least putting salt on the sidewalks. This winter it was terrible, as if Reykjavik municipality encountered icy roads for the first time in their lives. Hundreds of people ended up with broken bones and concussions within days. But hey! It's a great place. Don't let me stop you from coming again! Winters are nice! We have auroras!

@AdmiralMemo@mastodon.social I might test it next time, for winter solstice. Gotta get all those shades of black

@xs4me2@mastodon.social yesss this half an hour of sunlight in the afternoon :catjoy: :catjoy:

@akiran_n@onlyfranz.com maybe THIS is the year you do it!

@keila@fosstodon.org maybe I could help? https://www.behance.net/gallery/80041417/Vector-illustrations can send more works if you'd like

@wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place @xs4me2@mastodon.social yep. I deal with it by using blackout blinds and an eye mask

@YannC@piaille.fr it's a fun thing! I'd love to see your images if you don't mind sharing

@YannC@piaille.fr oooo this is really pretty! the green to red transition 🤌

@YannC@piaille.fr wooow thanks for sharing! the tree on the right is amazing. I also loved the sun going up and down in the 18:00 one. You don't seem to get a lot of snow there :-)

@YannC@piaille.fr it's so interesting to see how day-night rhythm changes throughout the year
