Time-lapse

Mindrelic - Manhattan in motion from Mindrelic on Vimeo.

To make the video, Owens spent the first month and a half of spring staying at eleven different Manhattan hotels, shooting from their windows and roofs for around twelve hours every day, weather permitting. (Lodging was free—in return, Owens is letting each hotel use the footage shot from its property.) His only real obstacles, he told us, were wind, snow (in April!), and people on the street. “I would often gather a crowd, mostly other photographers asking what I was doing with this strange-looking nine-foot-long thing on tripods,” he said. The tourists were more of a hazard. “People are so distracted by the lights in Times Square that I would often have to physically keep them from walking into the camera.”

Until recently, Owens shot photographs by day, then worked the night shift in the transportation department of the University of Rochester. Now he mostly makes time-lapse videos for a living. The work, he said, has made him aware of the rhythms of the universe. “Anyone who shoots time lapse can most likely tell you what phase the moon is in, what time to the minute the sun rises and sets.”

It’s also been a way, he said, to recapture with digital photography the suspense and surprise of working with film. “You don’t really know what you shot until you’re able to get home and animate all the stills together,” he said. “It’s a rush when you get to see your shot moving for the first time.”

organisation and fitness tip

I'm  doing an overhaul of old documents today- that is deleting old files, and throwing in the bin paper copies of things I can either scan in, already have electronically, or can find on a website.  Some of the files on my computer are ridiculous- a single A4 Word document with sometimes only ONE word saved in the document! The below is a sentance I found in a Word document I had entitled "Fitness tips". I wil delete the unnescary files and put any useful information I come about on my blog instead :)

LC: There are just five moves: squats, sit-ups, push-ups, couch dips— where I balance on the edge of a couch and lower my hips, then press up — and planks. I do 20 reps of the first four moves, then hold the plank for 20 seconds. I go through the entire circuit six times. No equipment required.”
