Playing with Cinemagraphs

Elliott Asbury — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 20:08:07 +0000

I came across a cool format called cinemagraphs that essentially take a small movie clip and freezes most of the motion except for a small section. Here’s a really quick and dirty example I made to test the concept and with any luck I can play with and refine this technique to create some cool stuff. Some exceptional options can be found at cinemagraphs.com.

New Website, New Photos

Hey all. I woke up one morning recently and looked at my site and said…eh, I could have better. So, I redid it. And now, I think you would agree, it looks much much better.

And business is good. My work is expanding more into the glamour/fashion world and I actually have a few new photos up from a shoot last week. Check out my glamour port here.

Holler if you have any projects! I’m always looking to stay busy.

I’ve just uploaded a new portfolio page for music and concert photos. These photos were from a Funkiphino concert I shot a few months back. I’ve not done a lot of concert shooting, but it’s an area I’m definitely interested in. If your group needs photos, let me know, and I can probably make you a really good deal!

Photos from Chatfield

I had a chance to go back to Chatfield Botanic Gardens in Littleton today to scope out the ground for an upcoming wedding shoot. I brought my camera this time. Thought I’d share some of the cool stuff I saw. Enjoy!

I had the opportunity to do a maternity shoot the other day. This is one of the good shots that came out of it. I’ll post some more soon.

Shooting Yesterday

I was out driving yesterday, and despite the lousy weather and snow on the ground everywhere I really wanted to shoot, I was able to come away with one nice shot. I wish I had had tripod, etc, along with me, as well as a better vantage point. This spot on the road was simply breathtaking.

New Engagement Photos

Finally got around to uploading some new engagement shots I took a few weeks ago. This is Donna and her fiance and they were great to shoot with! We had tons of fun and got some really good exploring and shooting done.

Tilting the Shift

I wanted to play around with the whole tilt-shift in Photoshop technique that people have been having a lot of fun with. By adjusting the focus areas in Photoshop, you can make a photo look like a toy model set. It’s kind of a neat effect.

Shoot Locations – Part 5

Another one of my favorite locations around here is Bald Mountain. If you head west up one of the canyon roads from Boulder, it’s about 3 or so miles in. The hike to the top is a cinch (maybe 10 minutes) and the views from up there are stunning. Plus, there’s a nice little park bench at the top under a couple of trees. Really nice. If you’re looking for a good vantage point photography location in the Denver area, I’d highly recommend this one.

Shoot Locations – Part 4

So, this one’s cheating a bit as it relies of a very specific timeframe. But, in the middle of August, or thereabouts, the sunflowers in this field off of Mineral Rd between I-25 and north Boulder simply explode. It’s an amazing sight, and an even more amazing site – shooting site that is. If it’s the middle of August and you’re looking for an incredible photo backdrop, may I suggest Mineral Rd?
