Des is my brother and he has been visiting for the last few days. He's a mining engineer, but has been studying photography intensively to satisfy his creative needs. Okay, this morning I decided somewhat reluctantly that I ought to update my web site photo. never much fun because you nearly always look nicer ten years ago (unless you are ten!) So we set up a studio shot. Then Des had an idea - one of his assignments is to do a time-lapse project in photography, and he thought he'd do it as a kind of visual pun with me writing "Time-lapse by Des Vlietstra" By now it is 3.00pm and he is due to leave at 5.00pm and we are about to start planning this.
So I printed Time Lapse (yes, printed - it's faster) using Prose Antique onto beautiful old hand made cream paper, then planned how to write his name.
He set his camera up behind me to click every second or so.
In time lapse photography, there is a series of stills which are collated digitally to look a bit like a video.
I WROTE HIS NAME IN CALLIGRAPHY IN 11 SECONDS!
