Busy Hour on Berlin Potsdamer Platz (Timelapse)

This Crossroad is one of the busiest in Berlin: Potsdamer Platz. The first traffic light in Europe were erected here in 1924, you can see a rebuild light in the left lower third with the 3 light bulbs in horizontal order. During the Cold war the Berlin Wall separates this square. The three distinctive buildings (Kollhoff-Tower in the middle and Bahntower) were build after Germanys reunion until 1999.

 

This timelapse was created from 21:00 to 22:30 on a Friday evening. Filmed with an Canon 60D and Tokina 11-16/f2.8. The Time Lapse was created with Magic Lantern and fps override to 1fps, where I can create the 1 second duration shots directly to a video sequence.
