29 DAYS: Something Better Than Instagram

About a week ago, I stumbled upon an insanely cool photography technique called cinemagraph. What is cinemagraph, you ask? My reliable source (Wikipedia) defines it as still photographs in which a minor and repeated movement occurs. See them for yourselves.

I don't own this - found them on THE INTERNET, but these photos make me miss Seattle. And here are some more photos!

This cinemagraph concept was actually created quite recently in 2011 by two New York based photographers, Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck (here's their website). You can also see a complete cinemagraph album by Jamie on his tumblr here - unfortunately, you can't really save the pictures to your computer.

Now, I don't know about you, but I instantly fell in love with these photos when I saw them. My first thought was: how in the hell did they do this! So I looked it up on Google (duh!) and there are tons of Photoshop tutorial. It's quite easy but I just don't have the time to do this PLUS I don't own a camera, my only camera is my iPhone 4S camera.

But THANK YOU technology (and Apple), we now have a quick fix to make this cool photos. Let us all now use Cinemagram - it's like an advanced version of Instagram!!! Take a quick video with your iPhone, edit here and there and BAM! Your animated photo is ready. The result will look like this.


It's quite neat, isn't it? Well ok, it's not as great as Kevin's and Jamie's photos but they are professional and god knows what kind of camera they're using. So for now, I'll settle with these photos created by iPhone and Cinemagram app. If you have an iPhone, download this app now (because it's better than Instagram!) and find my profile! Let the Cinemagramming begin!

Cheers!
