The demolition of a chimney of a former brewery in Frankfurt/Germany. Between the first an last picture are approx 6 seconds, the time it took the chimney to collapse. There are 2 other bad quality versions in recent. This is a new compilation from the original files I´ve found on my harddrive. I am aware that the quality of the chimney is not superb - I needed to crop it out because I didn´t want to lose ist during the collapse due to too high zoom.

•  Oppose - Sorry to row against the flood but the quality is quite poor. Maybe making it a gif animation would improve. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:01, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
  • A GIF animation would be worse because only 256 colors would be used. Diti (talk to the penguin) 15:15, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
    • 256 colours and some clever dithering algorithm would be just fine here. There are only blues and browns involved. Lycaon (talk) 10:28, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
•  Question Can you describe the equipment you used, and possibly upload an original frame so we can judge the difficult conditions of the shot? --S23678 (talk) 04:56, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Diti. The quality is quite poor, and an animation would probably do better. diego_pmc (talk) 08:33, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
  • You can see the parable of the fall and see how the gravity acelerates it. I´m not really a friend of gif-animations. Not smooth enough. If I would have wanted that I´d have used a high-speed video camera.
