Time over Space

[janis]

I ran across this article a few weeks ago and have been wanting to share it with you all.

www.slate.com/blogs/behold/2012/10/15/jay_mark_johnson_s_very_unusual_camera_emphasizes_time_over_space.html

In addition to being strangely beautiful, I find these images interesting for how they stretch my understanding of the nature of visual perception.

When I linked to it, it said the page had moved.

That's strange; the link still works for me.

Here is the link to the photographer's own site, which links back to the article: www.jaymarkjohnson.com/

Interesting work..it would be fun to know how he achieves this state of time shooting.

[janis]

He uses a rotating slit-scan camera, without the rotation. As near as I can tell, this describes the technique: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strip_photography

Fascinating Janis.

My brain is hurting now trying to figure out how it all works but it is really fascinating.

Thanks for sharing. It's something else to go on my " must have a crack at that one day", list.

Thanks for sharing. The concept is awesome and the pictures mind boggling.

Thanks for sharing, Janis. A very interesting bit of work. A new level of surreal. Looks like it could be fun to try.....but at 85,000 for the camera......I think I will leave it to Steve. ;D Steve, you think the better half is having a shopping spree over you last purchase....just wait til you have a crack at that one.
