Camera Technique Captures New View of Space & Time

Posted by samzenpus on from the sll-at-one-time dept.

kkleiner writes "What if you could compress a video clip into a single image? That's what Jay Mark Johnson, an artist and visual effects director, has accomplished through the use of a special camera technique. He calls the images 'photographic timelines,' and his collected works offer quite a shift to conventional perception. Slices of photos are strung together in progression to make a single composite image of a sliver of space spread over an extended period of time."

      Looks like the same technique they use to take horse race photo finishes.
