HDTR images
well, i stumbled upon an interesting photographic technique called High Dynamic Time Range images. Basically its just timelapse photography except you composite all the photos into a single image, with the photo of a certain time occupying a slice of the image.
Intrigued, i went out and did a small test of an hour. Too bad the evening was cloudy and there wasn't any exciting light so its a bit boring. This was taken in intervals of 10 minutes except the last slice which was hours later(after i played badmintona and had dinner).
Its quite an interesting method and i would like to explore it further.
Saying that, here is the result of my test.
Also, if you want to find out more and see other prettier pictures go to this link.

This guy basically came out with the idea(although i'm sure someone else somewhere must have thought about it too). Other funky methodologies of photography include the "camera toss" which basically means that you set a timer on your camera and then just before it takes a photo, throw it in the air. The image captured on your camera would be while it was airborne. Although interesting results can be made, and it is quite an interesting method, i don't think its something that i take seriously. It takes the photographer entirely out of the picture and ends up being just random chaos. It reminds me of that lomography catch phrase "shoot by the hips", which means that you don't even aim, you just point and shoot. Because of the high contrast images and luck, sometimes you get nice results. I don't really like that way of thinking, although if you are really stuck with your normal photography, it could be a way of taking you out of that funk.
Another interesting method is scanner photography. The way the scanner captures images is sequentially from either left to right or right to left. The scanner also takes time to be able to capture the whole image, thus when doing an exposure, objects which are moving horizontally get streeeetched out while objects moving vertically get squished. Non-moving objects look the same. the results are really quite amazing if done right.
