This post is to celebrate some rather brilliant time and motion photos. I spent a lot of time trying to come up with creative ways to capture and abstract things using time and motion for our project, and now, I constantly notice the use of time and motion in photography. The above photo is of moths flying around an outside light. You don't notice their flight patterns or their wing shape very much until being able to track their motion with a slow shutter speed.
This is a famous landmark road in Angola. The fog and near-60-second-exposure help capture what looks like fairy flights or snakes of light or fire. It makes this photo look like a movie still or fantasy landscape.
A woman in Bangladesh rides in between train cars to keep from having to pay for a ticket. With the sun and time of day, it would have been easy for the photographer to stop the train tracks underneath. However, I like the sense of motion and danger one gets from a moving ground underneath the photo's subject. It gives the viewer a sense of riding with the woman.
