“Picture of the Day” by Markus Schwarze
In December 2009, German photographer Markus Schwarze decided to take a picture of an unknown person each day of the year 2010. I especially like the way he uses a shallow depth of field [German: “Geringe Tiefenschärfe”] by choosing fast lenses [“lichtstarke Objektive”] and his post-processing.
Follow the photo project at Picture of the Day.
For German readers: in the lasted “View Spotlight” there is an interesting feature about Markus’ work.
Oren Lavie – Her morning elegance
Another great example of time-lapse photography is the music video for the song “Her Morning Elegance” from the album “The Opposite Side of the Sea” by Israeli singer, songwriter, playwright and theatre director Oren Lavie.
Time-Lapse Photography – Ash-Clouds in Iceland
American photographer and filmmaker Sean Stiegemeier shot this impressive time-lapse photography of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption on May 1st and 2nd, 2010.
So I saw all of these mediocre pictures of that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of, so I figured I should go and do better. But the flights to get over took forever as expected (somewhat). 4 days after leaving I finally made it, but the weather was terrible for another 4. Just before leaving it got pretty good for about a day and a half and this is what I managed to get.
Wish I had more time. I missed all the cool Lightning and the Lava of the first eruption. But I figure this will just be a trial run for another day.
If you are interested in the background of time-lapse photography, take a look at the excellent tutorial by BBC photographer Timothy Allen and watch the following behind the scenes video from the BBC’s documentary Life to see just how far it is possible to push this art form (commented by the remarkable David Attenborough).
