Just a thought...

Where i have been so stuck on the idea that a time lapse must be shown in photography in a number of different frames, this is simply not the case. I am now trying to think how i can show a time lapse in just one frame.. 
This i think could be harder, and i will need to experiment with different camera techniques to show this. Recently i have been thinking about how much i like blurred pan shots, where the subject is still (yet moving in reality) and the background is displayed as moving (yet in reality is stood still) Here are some simple examples i have found. The photographer is not relevant here, yet the technique is. 









Here, this is reversed, and the subject becomes out of focus and blurred, where the background is in focus and stood still. 



 I feel this technique can depict such energy, deffinately showing a lapse in time, simply by motion and movement. With the woman waiting for a train, many questions can be asked.. The following image is my favourite from what i have found

  1. With the first image.. Does this woman lead a busy life? What is she doing and where is she going? Who is she going to meet.. The questions are endless. you can almost here how loud this train is, and almost sense a gust of wind slapping you in the face.. This is a familiar situation for me when i go back home to living in the hectic City of London.. It constantly feels like a rat race where people are always so busy.. I would like to look into this idea further.. Im feeling quite inspired at the moment but cant seem to put my finger on what it is i want to do..
