Again, this was strapped to my chest, I've got, let's see, 213 pictures here, so I'm just going to start going through them and in the process, relive this little ride that I took. The process of going through all these images really exercises your ability to see and recognize a good composition.

One of the great things about this exercise is not only is it a way of getting pictures in situations where you normally couldn't take a picture, like riding a motorcycle, but it's also a really interesting composition exercise. When I got home I had this huge mess of pictures and then I could go through and pick out the exact one that I wanted or one that I thought looked nice or maybe even a couple that I thought looked nice. So I took a GoPro, which is a tiny little what they call an action camera, and I strapped it to my chest and I put it in timelapse mode and I had it take a picture every five seconds. I was on my motorcycle and I was driving through a really great landscape and I wanted a picture of that landscape but I was busy riding a motorcycle, I couldn't take pictures. The reason for this is because of the nature of what I wanted to shoot. I'm going to use that same technique but instead of ending up with a video I'm just going to grab one frame. We shoot single images at regular intervals, string them all together, and end up with a video. Now normally timelapse photography does involve capturing single images. This week on The Practicing Photographer we're going to look at timelapse photography as a way of capturing a single image.
