Cinemagraph Tutorial. Cinemagraphs more than a photo, but not quite a video. The first time I ever see this type of photography was almost a week ago, I came across two amazing blog, from Jamie Beck and Coco Rocha. They make this awesome picture that they called “cinemagraph”. The cinemagraph are simply a .gif file with more artistic feel that the regular .gif you see everywhere. You need first a good picture that look great as a still photo. When you have your composition right and everything ready, ask your models to stay as still as possible for you to take a video in the highest resolution that your camera had. Remember to use a Tripod to minimize camera shake. Now you have your video, open Photoshop CS5 go to file>open and search for the video In the animation palette select only the frames that you want the movement, one or two second are enough in most case but you make that decision. You can preview the animation at anytime by pressing the space bar.
That’s it, you are done. Now go out and shoot! Update: Le pool LOMO Repairs. Tommy Ga-Ken Wan. Light Stalking » How to Take the Perfect Spring Flower Macro Photograph.

How to use a Layer Mask in Photoshop to blend images. A Layer Mask lets you control what parts of the layer are hidden/visible. To make part of a layer visible you paint over it with white and to hide it you use black. If you want to partially show part of the layer you can use grey. This ability to hide/reveal parts of layers makes Layer Masks the perfect tool for blending too images together seamlessly.
Open your images up in Photoshop and drag one image into the other with the Move tool so each of the images appear on separate layers. In our example it's a landscape shot and a photo of a sheep of which we are going to blend into the background. If, like ours, your subject is too big for the background go to Edit>Free Transform and adjust the anchor points until they fit. Select the layer you want to create the mask on, which in our case is the image of the sheep, and select the Layer Mask icon from the bottom of the layers palette. Shot before and after: If you want to blend too images together gradually you can use the Gradient tool. Vicky Slater : Martin Rowson – Guardian Cartoonist | UCL Occupation.
