One Image of an Entire Day
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/how-photographer-stephen-wilkes-captures-full-day-single-image-180972935/
This article is about how Stephen Wilkes, a photographer, puts an entire day into one image. This article interests me because I did not know it was possible to do what Wilkes does with his photos. In addition, it amazes me that his images do not initially look like they are of a whole day. You have to pay attention to the details to really pick up on it.
To create his images, he takes around 1,000 photos throughout the day to ensure he captures everything he needs. The editing process then begins and it takes many months to complete the one image. Each photo is based on a time vector using X, Y, and Z axes and a master plate is created. The final photos are then layered in to create the final image. There are always many revisions in the process to produce the perfect image.
Some places of entire days that his images cover are the Grand Canyon, Coney Island in New York, and the Red Square in Moscow. Also, he is working on an image that is going to cover 36 hours of icebergs melting in Greenland. I am fascinated by Wilkes pieces and this article opened up my eyes to what all can be done with editing to create amazing images.
