In memory of Muybridge

[sirhc55]

Eadweard Muybridge, inventor of the Zoopraxiscope. The 1993 video by U2 of their song ”Lemon” was a tribute to Muybridge.

Comments and critique welcome but please be aware that it has low contrast on purpose in my effort to emulate pics taken in the late 1800’s.

I aint never heard of one of them fancy zoopraxiscopes before, I'm a simple country fella!

But on seeing the image I thought it was a very old image from early 1900's ang given thats the look you were after, then you must have done something right.

So whats a zoopraxiscope do anyway?

From wikipedia, zoopraxiscope:

Very interesting photo. Looking at the photo, looks like you gradually tilted the same initial photo, blurring as you go. From that point of view, the sequence of movement does not look natural.

The effect really works in giving that sense of animation. It's only in looking at it more closely, trying to see how you did it that I noticed that it was the same.

Great PS skills, as usual.

And I do like the final result

thanks for sharing,
