Week Eight - The beginning of our second to last topic: Time

This week it was time to put together our next exhibition:

My contribution put up nice and neat on the wall!

We were also told about our next topic: Time. For this we are to create one image that captures time. I have some ideas about what I might do, but did some research about photographers who have done the same. Two photographs came straight to my mind:

The above image by Henri Lartique has frozen the movement of a racing car, but some of the image is also  slightly blurred, giving us a real sense of the speed. 

The second image by Edward Muybridge consists of several images of a horse, which has proven that there is a point during a horses gallop where all four hooves are off the ground, and is one of the most significant photographs ever taken.

My main idea right now is about capturing water, and I will do several experiments around that at some point this week.

While looking through Next Level, Edition 12 I found the work of Greg White, who's done something similar to what I have in mind with colour:

All the scanners were busy as always, so I had to take photos
to include the images.

Update from the weekend:

I have now taken 12 pictures around the above mentioned idea. For the next exhibition I am only allowed one final image, but here are the ones I've taken today:

I used food colouring in water, the glass was filled to the very top and was overflowing a lot, especially during the practice shots. ISO 100, S 1/2.5, F 5.6
