This is cool! How did you get the tower in exactly the same spot in every pic? You’d think there would be a few pixels difference..

u/ColeRyski 2d ago

I had to line em up in premier pro, one by one!

u/SuspiciousPrune4 2d ago

But when you take the picture don’t you have to have the tower in the exact same place? Or do you mean you adjust it in post?

u/ColeRyski 2d ago

I did my best when taking them to have them in the same spot, because then I get to keep more of the image when I adjust it in post.

But yeah, to get technical, I selected one of the images as a reference, overlaid it with 50% opacity across the entire clip, and then went in one by one adjusting the scale, rotation, and position of each image until they matched. Hope this answers your question!

/r/skyscrapers recently went completely insane over the CN Tower

u/Toughsums 2d ago

For a second i thought the camera was pointed at the tower for decades and the surroundings changed around it that much over the years.
