A Cinemagraph by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg

Cinemagraphs are more than a picture, but not quite a video. Their main goal is to visually illustrate a short story.

Beautiful animated photographs, a.k.a Cinemagraph by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg.

I was there on the day that the Beatles performed for the last time together. I was a young photographer living in London during the late sixties and Julian Seddon, my European agent, and I were on the hunt for a pub lunch when we heard music that sounded like the Beatles floating over the city.

This slice of video is from the TV program that the Beatles were filming on the roof of Apple Corp., their office building – it also turned up in the Beatles Anthology that aired on TV a few years ago…which I happened to be recording.

My wife and kids especially liked the neck gear and the mutton chop sideburns. I like the fact that it was a piece of Lawlor history preserved.

Almost everyone has taken a self-portrait, even if the image frame was shared with other people or animals. In this video montage, Christoph Rehage rises to uber-self-portrait guy. His dedication and persistance is amazing…and the montage is funny too.

Have you shared your self-portraits recently?

Earlier today I came across a site that has free Twitter backgrounds as well as custom backgrounds.

That set me thinking about what makes a great Twitter background and I started putting together a set of Twitter background examples – especially ones that rely heavily on photographs.

Do you have any examples of great Twitter backgrounds (including your own) to suggest?

Please add a comment with your suggestions.

Thanks.

I have been doing a lot of thinking about the best way to deliver our upcoming TOPS Photo Training courses (Photography for Websites, Photoshop for Bloggers, Photography for Bloggers and others).

In the past I have explored various form of subscriptions and membership options but always chosen to produce good old fashioned live seminars, workshops and webinars rather than membership sites. Unfortunately I haven’t always felt that these were the best solutions for my students or myself.

In my research today I stumbled on a video on micro-continuity membership sites that got my creative juices flowing. I’d love to get your feedback on this concept.

Enjoy the weekend.
