Cinemagraph Self Portrait

[Hamish Gill]

You might have noticed i'm very quiet on here the last week... well, along side the work on the house im having done im working on a big project involving cinemagraphs ... I wont go into it now as it is for a client, but i thought it worth showing you a shot of my self, feeling how you might expect after doing work and having work done on the house ... Very tired basically ...

So, what do you think? nice effect?

 

[Pete Askew]

It is a nice effect Hamish. Intrigued by the project but I understand you can't say much as it is for a client. Might have to have a play with these myself.

 

[Paul Lange]

Thats wonderful and a bit scary at the same time, love it Hamish. There is something about the general pose / composition as well that I like with or without the eye moving. I find that you take portraits of people that seem to convey some thing about them well.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Id love to tell you about it, its very exciting... but unfortunately you will have to wait until march to see the finished thing! :/

 

[Hamish Gill]

it is a little unsettling isnt it, thats why it works i think!
Thank you Paul, I intend to pursue my portraiture I bit more next year, mainly spurred on by positive comments on here about them ...
I have some ideas

 

[Hamish Gill]

... I should do a cinemgraph tutorial i think... most on the net are **** or geared up to ones made using video... this is just high frame rate photography!
Although, i have to say, it does make me want a camera capable of very high frame rates/video ... the nikon j1 springs to mind, but im not sure i could cope with its loss light performance...
Maybe I will just have to get a d4?
(or 5dmkii before anyone chirps up )

That is weird, man! In a good way. It's not video and it's not still. Its very interesting.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

That is soooo creepy - the eye movement thing is cool though!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

WWHHOOOAAA!! Thats trippy man!! lol You know I don't mind that. lol

 

[Kev Pugh]

I can see this sort of thing BIG like the old masters with those eyes that truly follow you round, now that would be something
Like it Hamish am intrigued too..

 

[Larry Bolch]

I did a much less subtle one based upon two exposures, hand and face move, and sound is added.
