Stop motion is an animation technique which can make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own.

The object is moved by small amounts between individually photographed frames, creating an illusion of movement when the series of frames are played as a continuous sequence.

Clay figures are often used in stop motion animations, known as claymation, for their ease of repositioning. One of the most notable uses of stop motion on TV and film is Wallace & Gromit.

Wishing you all a happy new year

Photographer Jason Hawkes recentley released a stunning set of photos in London, all taken from above the city. Visit his website at http://www.jasonhawkes.com/.

Whilst reading through Smashing Magazine, a weblog dedicated to web-developers and designers, i came across numerous great examples of Tilt-shift photography. Tilt-shift photography is a style of photography where the camera is manipulated to give an illusion of looking down at a miniature model. When i first saw these photos it took me a while to believe they are infact real.
