A Thai "cinemagraph"

I've jumped on the bandwagon of the new fad: cinemagraphy. A "cinemagraph" is more than a photo, but not quite a video. Certainly it's just an old fashioned gif.file, but with a more "artistic" feel to it than a regular gif, it is simply bringing back to life certain elements of the photo.

This was the first attempt, not quite as good as it should be, for example the model's shadow could have been enlivened. It was back to the drawing board, and I now have a few stored up for future posting.

My first post in several months, apologies.

Back to reality


After yesterday's HDR's, I thought I'd get back to simple photography.

Samui is an island in the south of Thailand that we try to take our 3 kids to a few times a year. We stay in the north of the island, rather than the more touristy west side, partially because its quieter, but more for the fact that we are right on the beach, and depending on the season, the wind is either blowing from north east or north west, keeping us cool and the pesky mosquitos down.

This image is from Bangpor beach, a few hundred metres away from where we stay.

Have a great weekend.
