![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | Pacific Sunset Paragliders - Mike McCabe
A time-lapse of the sunset from a park in Daly City. There were a number of paragliders in the air at the time, and several of them made it in. The 'zoom' version is produced from the same sequence of source images, but is rendered with a slow zoom into the available resolution over the course of the animation. The source images were captured at full resolution with a Canon a640 camera, running CHDK.
