He took all of the photos in just a day and a half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, he took 9,000 photos while traveling around Chicago to capture the most amazing shots possible <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in just 36 hours<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Of course, you also get to see images of the Chicago Riverwalk, Michigan Avenue, and the skyline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, his ability to photograph exactly what a day in Chicago is like is what sets him apart. Not only do you see the usual skyscrapers and majestic views \u2013 you get to see people going about their daily lives. Sightseers are intermixed with office workers on their lunch breaks, pedestrians are shown navigating the traffic, and families can be seen hanging out around Lincoln Park. It\u2019s in these moments that the timelapse project really shines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what Marcel had to say about the whole thing:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEnjoy my second Timelapse-Project which I realized in Chicago, IL. I had 1,5 days to shoot 9.000 pictures to make this happen! A lot of walking, shooting and a good timing! I hope you like it.
