I’ve seen plenty of amazing timelapse videos over my time at DIYP. But my all-time favorites will be videos showing plants and their interaction with insects. There’s something about nature timelapses that’s fascinated me ever since I was little – and it hasn’t gone away.
In this timelapse from Boxlapse, you’ll see a mesmerizing process of a pinecone turning into a tiny pine tree. And if you, like me, collected pinecones as a kid, I’m sure you’ll love it even more.

It simply radiates joy, and if it doesn’t make you smile today… Well, then, you’re a real Mr. Grumpy Pants.
Is photography all the same today? What makes one image different from one another when not only technology allows us to rely on features that trivialise traditional skills, but the pool from which many learn new skills, is so easily accessible?
At a surface level this automation of foundational skills and us all having permanent access to a global knowledge pool that is continuously updated sounds amazing, but are we all becoming the same? If we all have the same tool and the same knowledge, do we run the risk of producing very similar work?
