Relativity perspective 3: Trudging with luggage

Relativity - what you see depends on your frame of reference.

 

Background

A stationary camera shows a static background with a subject changing position in successive exposures. Muybridge's motion studies, in contrast, simulate a moving camera and show an effectively stationary subject against a moving background. These may be displayed as a polyptych or combined into multiple exposures on a single frame. This is a Harris shutter effect variant, turning the moving elements into brightly colored ghosts.

 

Details

This modified Harris Shutter Effect image generates colored "ghosts" on a black background. Things that move and other differences between three more-or-less sequential photos are emphasized while static features turn black. For this project I warped/scaled the images to maximize walker congruency, allowing the background to lose registration.
