“You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension – a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind…”
So began every episode for the famous Twilight Zone series.
And so should a viewer be forewarned when gazing upon the surrealist images of Jay Mark Johnson. For these truly are an exploration into another dimension. [Now that you are forewarned, go ahead and browse through his work in the gallery above.]
Before you even go there: No, these are not photoshopped.
What Johnson has done is use a slit camera that captures a narrow vertical sliver of a scene. By snapping a sequence of shots through that slit and lining them all up together in chronological order, Johnson is left with a single piece that essentially depicts the passage of time as seen through that narrow slit. In this sense, each photograph is actually a composite of hundreds of very slim images.
Things get real interesting when an object or objects in motion — like crashing sea waves or a leaping dancer — is captured.
Groovy perspective, right?
Extremly crazy ^^
Why are these people so thin?
But anyway, very nice. Someting ne for me.
OK, I have my undergrad in Photography and cinematography, and reading about this on Wikipedia made my brain hurt. This guy is incredible.
its one camera capturing one vertical line of pixels with each photo and repeating the process thousand of times a second and then merging the images
im still a tad confused… is it multiple cameras? one camera moving? how fast does it move?
Isn’t this what they do in horse races?
yeah and any race that requires a photo Finnish these are the photos
Looks uber cool but not as detailed!
