This image is the result of a slit-scan photographic technique capturing the burning of a single matchstick. Rather than presenting a single instant in time, slit-scan photography stretches time into space: a narrow vertical slit records the scene line by line as the flame evolves. What we see here is not a literal snapshot, but a temporal composite,
compressing the life of a flame into a surreal and expressive visual.
Slit-cam (the technique used for photofinish) adapted from a simple point and shoot camera. The shutter was wedged open using a piece of plastic tube and some blu-tac, and a 1mm slit, made from black card, was mounted at the film plane. The cog-wheel which normally engages with the 35mm sprockets was taped over, thus fooling the automated wind on into keeping running for about 4 seconds each time the shutter release is pressed. The camera, an Olympus Trip 300 (£1.25 from a charity shop), has a slide across lens cover which is ideal to keep light out of the lens between exposures. I calculated that with the film moving at 60mm per second (measured by videoing the film winding then counting the perforations) the 1mm slit gives an exposure equivalent to 1/60th of a second. The 34mm lens has a fixed aperture of f5.6, so with ISO 200 film, the exposure was just right for an overcast late autumn afternoon. The first film was really just to see if the concept worked, next I plan to select places and subjects that should give interesting results from this technique.
with a Roundshot camera. the camera advances film as it rotates for panoramas or without rotating for these images. Cars I found were a difficult subject for this. The speed of the cars varied quite a bit and most were stretched or compressed on the film. I think next time I'll try during rush hour.

I was surprised with the length of the continental trains. Japanese trains are much shorter than them.
This is my second attempt at a camera modification for slit scan photography. First attempt is here. This one is attached to aluminum sheet instead of plywood. I fixed the motor more securely this time so it seems to apply more consistant pressure against the rewind knob than previously.
I also added a rheostat dial from Radio Shack to vary the voltage which allows me to control the rpms of the rewind knob. I added a second plate below to sit flat and protect the wires when it isn't on a tripod.
The curved extension of the lower plate past the camera's lens is to add a tripod mount below the lens' entrance pupil (according to Wiki) the rotational point for panoramic images. At some point I'd like to try to rotate the camera as it's advancing the film for panoramic images.
I haven't tried this out yet (just finished it about an hour ago). I still need to tap the metal for a tripod screw mount, then it should be ready.

This is the modified hood from my 17-40 lens. The cardboard slit replaces the cameras shutter. The process works like this...
With the camera in bulb mode open the shutter.
Drag the slit from one side to the other.
Close the camera shutter again.

One of the surprise highlights of July's PDX Nightowls photo walk was when we were invited to come in and photograph the sculptures at DODECAH . Special thanks to the fine folks at DODECAH who were extremely generous with their time and willingness to spin their sculptures. i4s5922,27,23 - Happy Sliders Sunday!

A series of overlapping exposures taken one afternoon in September, when I took the Number 1 Vaporetto (water bus) in Venice from the Bacino San Marco, along the length of the Grand Canal to the Piazzale Roma. The journey of 3.5km takes about an hour.
The camera was a modified Bencini Koroll 24 camera. As the name suggests, this model manages to squeeze 24 exposures out of a roll of 120 film, by using a mask to make the image size 3cm x 4cm. The edges of the film are wasted, but by using the "12 frame" backing paper markings twice, 24 exposures are made.
I removed the mask, so the full width of the film is exposed, and the frames overlap. The 24 exposures take up the full length of the film.
The film is Lomography branded colour negative, developed in the Tetenal C41 kit.

This was generated from this time lapse movie by Eirik Solheim. Well worth a look! It's a time-lapse movie of a garden taken over the course of a year.
Individual video frames were compressed into single-column images and wrapped into a donut using a custom Processing script.
The inside of the circle is the ground; the outside is the sky. The original video includes a slight zoom-in throughout the year, although it's barely visible here.
There's a slight gap at the top because I didn't get the exact start/end frames for the video (I had to strip out the intro and end credits to make this work as a visualisation).
Month names and text were added using Inkscape. Months start at *approximately* the position of the first letter of the month's name.
Month names are in Norwegian, the 'c' and 'y' keys still work on my keyboard :-D
This one is for Zeb.
At some point in the near future I'll post another linear strip photography photo with an explanation of the process, my plans to take over the world with it, and where you can obtain information on how to do it yourselves. In the meantime, I highly recommend you check out the Strip Photography group on flickr. There are some pretty rad images there that definitely inspired me to explore the process.
