Miniature Worlds: Using Tilt-Shift Together with Time-Lapse Photography

Posted: 19 Nov 2012 01:48 PM PST

In his timelapse video entitled “Toy Boats,” photographer Nathan Kaso combines a collection of still photographs taken in Sydney, Australia with an effect known as tilt-shift to create a whimsical presentation that almost resembles stop motion animation or claymation (Gumby, anyone?). Tilt-shift refers to a photographic treatment that makes life-size scenes and objects appear to be miniature-scale models. This effect can be achieved by using a special tilt-shift lens or through post processing using Photoshop or other software, as Kaso did. Take a look at the results below (for those of you reading this by email, the timelapse can be seen here):

Most of the images feature harbor scenes from the Sydney waterfront. Some of the locations Kaso photographed include Circular Quay, Sydney Tower Eye, Pylon Lookout, Camp Cove, Cahill Expressway Lookout, and Observatory Park. Here are some highlights from the video sequence:

Kaso shot the sequence using a Canon 5D Mark II with 17-40mm f/4L, 24-105mm f/4L, and 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM lenses. He created the tilt-shift effect in Photoshop, compiled the timelapse sequence in LRTimelapse and After Effects, and edited in Premiere Pro CS6.

For Further Training on Time-lapse Photography:

There is a new COMPLETE guide (146 pages) to shooting, processing and rendering time-lapses using a dslr camera. It can be found here: Time-lapse Photography Guide

Photographing Sharks with Underwater Studio Lighting

Posted: 19 Nov 2012 11:20 AM PST

Last Call with Carson Daly did a feature recently on prolific Hollywood photographer Michael Muller, whose recent work has his portraits looking a little bit more savage. In this clip, he takes us underwater to swim with the fishes, where he’s started on a very exhilarating project (for those of you reading this by email, the video can be seen here):

Muller muses about his art, and how he’s gotten where he is – from a sixteen year old snowboard photographer, to his move to Los Angeles and his foray into the world of celebrity portraiture. He developed innovative underwater lighting techniques while shooting professional swimmers, knowledge which he takes with him to the dangerous depths among these bulls and great whites. He discusses the beauty and grandeur of the animals, and the respect that is necessary to give them in order to avoid making enemies.

Occasionally protected by a steel cage, but more often not,  Muller descends into a swarm of the aquatic carnivores. With the help of a lighting assistant or two, he snaps wildly as they circle, often coming within arm’s reach of his lens. Through a bold readiness to face the most dangerous creatures in the sea, his story is a testament to the very nature of fear, and our power to overcome it.
