Time Lapse Photo – Amazing Helicopter Rescue

Ok, so the rescue itself was fairly ho-hum, but the photography is amazing. The video was made by combining two photographic techniques; time lapse photography, which most of us are already familiar with, and tilt-shift photography, a method that alters the angle of an image’s focal plane that in some cases, gives real life objects the illusion of bath toys, or in other cases, allows an entire landscape to remain in focus while keeping the aperture open. Ansel Adams used this technique.

We have posted some pretty good time lapse photography here on the blog and this one definitely ranks amongst the best. The video is done by Keith Loutit, a Sydney based photographer who does photographs and short films that use a variety of techniques to give a unique perspective to ordinary places, like the one above taken at Sydney Port Corporation using a technique known as tilt shift photography in which the camera is manipulated so that a life-sized location or subject looks like a miniature-scale model. More information and amazing time lapse photography from Keith can be found at http://vimeo.com/keithloutit or on his blog HERE.

For those interested, gCaptain has tested the waters in this type of photography. Here are links to gCaptain’s own Tilt Shift and Time Lapse photos on Flickr. Also be sure to check out the Time Lapse blog tag.
