FIRST ATTEMPT
This is my first time ever doing the time-lapse this long [4 hrs]. I was using my own camera and did not expect my camera's battery ran out of battery during the 4 hrs time-lapse. I mean may be after the 5th or 6th hours. I started the time-lapse sequence at 9.30am and the battery died at pm. Nearly there though.

Hmmm....I don't really see any major lighting changes in the room apart from the ceiling flickering a little bit. I would assume that theses small flickers are the result of clouds movements. Is it because where I was has a lot big windows therefore a lot of sunlight coming in, so the changes of the light coming in is too subtle to notice the changes? I was sitting on the 10th floor, overlooking the Washington Square Park. Although, I can't see the main changes of the quality of light through the video, when I was sitting there and doing my homework, lighting in the morning is much softer whereas as the time approached the afternoon, my eyes begin to feel uncomfortable due to stronger sunlight.
SECOND ATTEMPT
Location: First Floor Lounge ITP

Camera: Canon 5D
I was hoping to see the light that falls on the tree changes more radically, but the effects didn't come out as I had hoped. I thought that I would capture the light rays that pierced through the tree leaves and make some shadows on the ground. I can see that at the top of the tree's leaves, there is glowy green like the leaves could might have translucent quality in them.
I was aiming for something like this. But then again, these photos might have been enhanced through photoshop. For my lamp design, I think I want to play with the positive and negative space light create with objects in front of it. The skyscrapers time-lapse I captured yesterday, also has this effects.
BONUS
In the spirit of making time-lapse video, I forced myself to wake up super early to catch this amazing sunrise over the skyscrapers.

I really like how the color hue of the sky slowly changing color. Since the sunrise is in the background and the skyscrapers in the front, the sun act as big backlight for the city creating a captivating positive and negative space between high rises.
