Wanted to do this for the longest time and finally did it. Solstice day in Iceland, from midnight to midnight

@karafuto okay now you have my interest piqued. I'm trying to do a "photo a day" view of a spot on our property looking down a field towards the other side of a valley. I was planning on stitching it together into a "year lapse" at a few hundred milliseconds per frame, but this vertical slice composition could also be quite neat.
@hugo I'd love to do that too - but I'm not sure (yet) how to automate the vertical slicing of images. I did this one manually, but with hundreds of photos that would be too much

@karafuto yea. I was planning on messing with ffmpeg for the time sliced version; thinking about it, there might be a way to get it to do vertical slice thing as well.

Good point re: number of images. Probably I'd need to sample it down to 1 in every 10 or 20 images or such, at which point it might start to miss out on some key differences. Part of the fun in the big "year lapse," though, is definitely things like different cloud patterns, seeing the colours in the field change, etc; all things that would show up much better in full images versus vertical slices.

Good things to think about, thx.

@hugo yeah that's the thing, like somebody mentioned, having wider slices is a bit more interesting since you get more information about the actual space, vs. a million slices which might make the image too noisy
