A New Kind of Photography – An Experiment in Japan – Stuck in Customs

A New Kind of Photography – An Experiment in Japan

By now, I think you all know that I like experimenting and trying new ideas. I have created something here below — I don’t know what it is. It’s not photography; it’s not video; it’s not cold scientific slow-mo with bullets through apples; it’s something else. What do you think about it? Can you help me come up with a name for it in the comments below or by sending me a Tweet? I have entitled the piece “The Moments Between, Episode 1: Japan”. Yes, that means there are more episodes coming… they take a lot of work to produce.

Is it “new photography”? I don’t know – I think some of this has been available to big movie studios with sophisticated special effects teams and the like. But this can now be done by the common man – it is inexpensive, understandable, and fun. Have ever wanted to capture something that is in between a photograph and a video? Some of those micro-moments that are important and wonderful?

How did I do it? I’ll reveal that in an upcoming video! I’m still perfecting the technique… so, just as I have done with the popular HDR Tutorial on the site, I will endeavor to put together a tutorial on “this”, whatever the name might be.

EDIT: It has been revealed on This Week in Photography… you can see everything on the “Stuck In Motion” page here on the site. Enjoy!
