Resolution and pixels and image quality! Oh my! ...

When you hear the term 'high-res' thrown about with such abandon when it comes to images for web use, have you ever stopped to think just how big or how high quality and image meant for the web needs to be?

Low-contrast photographs don't have to be boring

There's an assumption that high-contrast images are more dynamic, more compelling, more inviting. Have a go at some low-contrast photography. You might surprise yourself with the results.

Brand new site celebrating time-lapse photography!

,

It's pretty incredible what you can knock up in a day if you're suitably caffeinated–or slowly on your way to getting sozzled. In the case of the Triggertrap Company Hackathon, I decided to build a site celebrating one of my favourite hobbies: time-lapse photography.

A screen shot of a website? What's next, an interpretative dance recital of a haiku poem? Actually, come to think of it, that's not such a bad idea.

Primelapse.com is the name, and it is a collection of a load of rather fabulous timelapses from around the world, organised by location, technique, and theme.

If HDR photography is your poison, we've got you covered. Looking for time-lapses from California? Done. How about a load of timelapses taken from space? Yeah, sure, why the hell not.

It's a brand new site, so there's a load of things I still want to add to the site, but for now, we've got the first hundred or so timelapses live on there, so why not pop over and have a look?!
