So this was an experiment. I thought okay so there is time-lapse photography and it usually is shown in a movie format. But all the time lapse I see, the frames and movement of the any object is chunky/clunky- I thought what if I could place a cross dissolve between each frame , speed it up, so it gives the appearance of ghosting to the moving objects. And with the fog it makes for a really cool dissolve. I’m hoping to perfect this technique so that I can offer it to my clients. I think when life/nature interacts with architecture it brings it all together and tells a story. Check out the movie of 980 9th Street here- watch it in 780 as it is made for that: http://bit.ly/cKeeCX

So I got a break in between my architectural assignment photography and the weather to finally pick up my camera and photograph for myself! This is the first time in 2010- yikes! Wait a minute, I have an evening off from that camera thing and I’m going to pick it up and use it more? I’m going to load up my gear into my case again? I’m going to have to put the images through a screen stare down workflow? Yes. I think any professional photographer would agree that if you don’t take the time to shoot for yourself you can loose many things personally and professionally. Your love of the profession, your creative edge, your skills to shoot outside your normal range of subjects, and all are at risk. If you are a professional photographer reading this please do yourself a favor, take time, and go shoot something that you want to shoot that is NOT connected to work. Your personal Li-on batteries will get charged for sure!
