30 frames, 30 minutes

[Elife]

Went to the Vancouver Waterfront Station, bought a sandwich, set up my tripod, then took one photo per minute for the next half hour. It was kinda interesting, nothing super special but I thought people should get out and try it or at least look at what has become the largest image I've ever uploaded. Obviously needs to be clicked.

[Gooseling]

I like the idea, but you need to push the concept further in order to make me care. In all honesty the pictures are boring, and 30 of them different make a difference. I feel like the point of the project was too analyze the people through out time, so why use a lens that forces us to focus on the architecture and color/lighting of the station? The lens forces the people to appear smaller than they are, forcing their impact to be significantly less significant.

Side note, is there a ticket window the left of the frame? If not why are people always standing there? If there is, I think you should of worked some with that, or completely ignored it, instead of just having a random person standing in some of the frames.

more or less agreed. hence the "nothing special" disclaimer at the beginning. The reasons for the composition being somewhat sloppy are 1) security forced me into a corner 2) I didn't plan on doing this here, it started raining so i had to camp out indoors for a while (the wide angle was the only lens i had) 3) needed to be near a bench so i could enjoy a sandwich while i took the shots. Another thing thats been irritating me about it is the way the fisheye shots when arranged into a grid create the illusion of crookedness. Consider it a meager first attempt. If i were to do it all over again I'd shoot a 50mm straight between the two benches on the right of the frame, placing one on either third of the frame. Its term paper/finals time, however, so no opportunity for a reshoot until May. Thanks for the critique, always happy to hear your thoughts.

I dont think its the fisheye as much as the angle in which your camera is pointing, I do see what you are saying though, but I didnt really notice it until you said something. Security forced you there, or hiding from security? ha.

But yeah I look forward to the reshoot.

true, it wouldve been better at a higher angle, but hindsight is 20/20
