Basil

Basil from carolune on Vimeo.

Observations over a period of a week.
The yellow light is artificial light at night. The blueish light is daylight. In very cloudy weather, the brightness changes constantly, giving this flickering effect.
1 photo every 2 minutes, turned into a film@60frames/sec, resulting in ~ 2 hours per second. The first but is done with a macro lens (105mm), at fixed focus (adjusted once), but shallow DOF (1/f ~4.5), the other frames are taken at 1/f 8 with a 50mm lens and autofocus on. The point of focus is adjusted twice I think.
