Fun with Sequences
Yawnin’ in the Rain
In my picture story & photographic essay class at the Missouri School of Journalism, we have been asked to find some examples of what can make for an effective sequence of images. While I ultimately will be required to produce one that is more about people than wildlife, I did think this sequence of images of a Galapagos Giant Tortoise from this summer was an entertaining and appropriate.
Additionally, the idea of the “sequence” can be interpreted broadly. A sequence could be two pictures (a diptych), three pictures (a triptych), or it could be hundreds put together into a time lapse. Timescapes.org is an example of the latter. They are working on what will eventually be a full-length movie composed of video and time-lapse photography. One example they have produced–a series of time lapses–is shared below. Interesting stuff!
