Impressionism and Realism are two styles of art that find their way into most of my time stack images.
My favorite time stacks have both moving and/or changing elements, as well as stationary elements. I find that the stationary elements act as reference point because they are easily identified by our sense of reality. (since that's more or less how they look when we see them in person) These are the parts of the image that fall into the realism category, and I think they are important because they give context to the Impressionistic elements of the image, which I think are the most interesting parts of these images because they're unlike the reality I usually experience.
The Impressionistic elements are harder to "wrap your head around" because they are displayed in a way that we are not used to seeing with our own eyes. In this image it's the clouds changing position, shape and colour during the sunset. Instead of seeing the usual cloud shapes we're used to, this time stack image shows the clouds as colour changing trails.
Similar to the way that timelpase videos compress time (a timelapse that took hours to shoot can be viewed as a video that lasts just a few seconds) time stack images compress the recorded time even further, into a single frame.
I made this time stack by combining 216 photos into one image. Although I shot this timelapse over a 45 minute period, I only used the part of the timelapse near the end, so this image shows about 16 minutes of the timelapse. I should also mention I used a little artistic license and added the sun in from an earlier frame, near the start of the timelapse.
Euphorbia aeruginosa. I have to love an arrangement of flowers (or cyathia) that resemble a beautiful bridal bouquet but with giant spikes radiating from it.

Looking west, where the stars that circle the north and south poles meet and draw a straight line though the sky. This is 267 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. I should also mention that I always use the Star Circle Academy stacking script for my "time stacks" as it saves me lots of time and effort.

Red Rod Eremophila Eremophila calorhabdos, in my garden in Geelong. Four photos showing flower stages from bud to seed capsule.
This plant grows naturally in an area north of Esperence, Western Australia. It is of lanky stature but I have planted three together and it looks good. I also prune the top third occasionally to promote branching.

The world appears to turn blue as my little place on it is slowly engulfed in darkness while the last few clouds reflect the wavelengths from the opposite end of the spectrum.
I like how if the conditions are right, you get a nice balance of my favorite complimentary colours, blue with a splash of orange.
I posted some of these images over a year ago, but I didn't have the resources to validate my observations. I noticed that the scales of pachyrrhynchus resemble the pristine crystalline structure of SiO2 H2O. That is Opal! In other words, quartz with components of water that allow light to reflect and refract various colors if the molecules are arranged in a certain way.
Is there any chance that someone has analyzed the chemical composition on the scales of this weevil? I would be awfully curious to know. FYI: I used higher powered optics to take the first shot shown above. Take a a look at the scales up close!

508 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. When I was making this rock balance the waves kept getting bigger as a storm rolled in. I like how the water turned out, but the sunset wasn't great, and the clouds weren't very impressive. It was fun to watch the waves get grow as the storm got closer. I decided it was time to get out of there when my camera started getting splashed.

Here's a timestack I shot at the end of October. (I'm catching up!) It was pretty overcast, and to my surprise most of the clouds (the ones closest to me) seemed to form from one spot and pass overhead moving east. They usually travel more north-south even though the wind here on the ground is most often blowing from west to east. Maybe these clouds were low enough to catch the winds I'm most familiar with, or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about. (It does seem like tmilapse photography has taught me a lot in the way of weather)
Out today, I tried something special. Taking a series of pictures of this windmill up on the hills of the Swabian Alps with stacking them later in Photoshop in mind. Some photography forum on the web said that you could easily do that without using a tripod at all, so that's what I tried. Not quite what I expected, to be honest.
I was just about to delete this stacking disaster when it occurred to me that this version, with that outlandish, distorted machine crookedly planted into the landscape, was actually much better than what I had originally anticipated.
So here it is, my Photoshop masterpiece.
What do you think?

After starting this timelapse I jumped in front of the camera, held up a flashlight and pointed it at my face.

Photostack 91 pics - March 23rd 2013 - Pmax & Dmap - Serbia - Crnagora-Durmitor Durdojevica Tara 800 mt. - 05/22-VIII-2008
I can't remember how many photos I used to create this image, but it was a fair bit. I would have to guess it was somewhere around 100.
I didn't move any of the birds, I just cut them out and adjusted the levels when needed, to make sure only the birds would show up on the background image.
It looks like all the birds in this image are Canadian geese, though there are often a few mallards that travel with them.
I'm both happy and sad to say that I will be moving soon. This house, and the surrounding area have provided me with so many great photo opportunities, ideas and inspirations. I can only hope the new place will treat me so well.
This photo was taken from my back yard, over looking Lake Ontario.
