When I was younger, we used to be able toget these plastic toys that had numbers on them from 1 to 15. They were in a small square tray with 4 x 4 tiles and the 16 tile was left out. You had to move the tiles around and put the numbers in order. A sort of a 2 dimensional Rubik cube. The other day I made an electronic version, well a static electronic version as I am not clever enough to make it work with a mouse. Here is the image of a local lighthouse

As a creative photographer I love the quote by Ansell Adams that you do not take a photograph, you make an image. WE all walk around looking at the big picture and walk past, over or by the small things in nature and the landscape. This article shares some tips that will hopefully give you some inspiration when photographing abstracts. And when you start to see them, you can’t stop photographing them.

I can only only marvel at the time and effort taken to create this layer lapse (timelapse images layered in post processing application). Here are some staggering statistics on how much time, energy, and money went into this layer-lapse: Tryba visited NYC 22 times, drove 9988 miles, spent 352 hours shooting 232,000 photos with 6 cameras (5 Canon DSLRs and a Sony a7R II) and 11 different lenses, and paid $1,430 in parking fees. Back in 2014, time-lapse photographer Julian Tryba released a “layer-lapse” of Boston that showed different times of day in different parts of each frame. That video went viral and received over a million views. Now Tryba is back with another… Read More
