Project 26: A Sequence In One Image.

For this project i had to produce something a little different in that in one single image i had to show a sequence of photos all blended together that portrayed movement in some way. To do this the best route was to get my camera mounted on my tripod and then keeping the camera in the same position shot the sequence i wanted. Being interested in wildlife photography i was on the look out for a suitable subject and one day i court site of a small rabbit that i thought might provide me with the perfect image. After positioning myself very quietly so as not to scare him off i settled in for a wait to see what kind of activity i might capture and was pleasantly surprised when he started to give himself a good clean. To begin with i did worry that the shutter noise might scare him off but luckily he seem completely happy for me to be there and never ran off till i was happy with what i captured and was packing up to leave.

When i came to combining the shots i found i had a small problem that i hadn't foreseen in that he hadn't move as much as I'd thought meaning that all the images just overlayed one another creating just a complete blur so i alter the way i combined the images to produce something a bit different because i was really happy with my shots and wanted to use them in some fashion. Below is what i finally produced.

In the course folder the first example they give you of this kind of imagery is of a bird of prey flying through the frame, although mine is similar in that its a series of images stitched together side by side it isn't exactly the same as you can see but it still show a series of images depicting movement in one single image. I did have a little trouble in blending the joins so that they aren't so obvious but in the end i think it turned out well. I know it isn't exactly what you're ask to produce but on the other hand i think it a good study of a wild animal and a different way of portraying animal behavior.
