I enjoyed this, but still look forward to your version.
It would be important to slow the time lapse, and reduce the camera distance, imo. Making people look like ants is inadvisable unless you want to suggest a negative image. Even allowing for the metaphor of the smallness of humans compared to the grandeur of Allah this image is disconcerting here, though I am sure not intended as such.
I can tell he had no permission to take those photos, since I think he took them from a hotel’s window, which is why the excessive zooming and the not so clear images, I don’t know how often they clean the windows, but I assume there was a bit of dust on them also.
I would try to take some footage from inside, let’s hope I get to it soon
