    Hi Andthen. Yes the video does have a lot of animation. To get a better look at the images, please visit my homepage and/or blog. The video was supposed to be frustrating, just had some fun with animoto 🙂

    Hey there, have you heard of “Photo SFXart Tricks” (just google it)? On their website you can watch a nice free video explaining how to make outstanding pictures. It made it possible for Matt to create photos that have that jaw-dropping-effect whenever you take a look at them. Hopefully it helps you as well.

    Great Shots – the subway images are my favourites.

    Equipment wise, I`d love a 4 by 5 camera, but am a little concerned about adequate DOF for subjects where horizontal and vertical sharpness are required. I`ve used my d3x at iso 100 for exposures up to 75 seconds, and found the blacks to be deep and noise to be non-existent

    Great work all round, vid tracks and shots, too many people just buy a camera and take ‘snaps’ . inspirational this is how to use a camera

    the pictures are great but it is hard to look at them when they are only up for 1 second and jumping across the screen

    Thanks @k00lp00l2. I used animoto.com to make the slideshow. Check it out. It’s very easy to work with. Only downside is lack of very detailed control over transitions, duration of slides etc.

    what a frustrating video. you took amazing long exposures, then wouldnt let us look at them, kept flashing them up for a half second at a time, with 1-2 second transitions that sometimes encroached on the images. frustrating.

    Hello @mreinstein48. These are done either with 4×5 large format film or with Nikon D3 and tilt/shit lenses….
