Most Creative & Beautiful Cinemagraphs


A few months back, I did a post on moving cinemagraphs, an entirely unusual yet exciting addition to the field of motion graphics. A cinemagraph provides the effects of a video within a GIF image. For those who don’t recall, Jamie Beck (Fashion Photographer) introduced cinemagraphs, in conjunction with Kevin Burg (Motion Graphics Designer).

How to Make Money With YouTube Partnership Program

Isn’t Youtube just for fun? No, you can actually earn from it and it is not an urban legend. In fact, if you know how to do it, the process can be rather easy.
Let’s face it: we spend way more time on Youtube (as well as many other social networks) than we should have. We use Youtube to kill an idle hour (even if we don’t have one), to discover new music, to laugh at someone’s fails, even to plan our leisure and vacations (according to Timeshare Secrets, one in five people look at Youtube to investigate the places they are planning to visit).
So why not take your love of making videos and earn some extra cash?
YouTube Generation

Get Started

The first thing you need to do is join YouTube. (The account is free.) Once you have your account, start uploading video content to it. Don’t worry about making money yet – focus on building your video portfolio.

Know What Works

You have several ways to find out what is popular on YouTube. One way is to browse through the daily list of popular videos. This will show you a list of videos getting the most hits for the day. Find out what seems to be catching attention and produce a similar video.
The following are popular themes you’ll see on a regular basis:
  • People who just act stupid.
  • People, animals, or even things really good or awesomely bad dancing.
  • Musically talented individuals (often playing the guitar, the piano, or singing).

Understand Basic Video Techniques

You Tube
You’ve got to produce high-quality content. Knowing how to edit your videos can make the difference between a great YouTube video and a not-so-great one. Always follow YouTube’s minimum recommendations for video content and audio feed. This can prevent your video from pixilation or coming through with static.

Join an Advertising Program

You have several ways you can begin earning money from YouTube. One of the most common ways is to join an advertising program, like Google AdSense. These programs provide you with code to embed in your video. With Google, you have three choices for advertising:
  • Add a link that pops up as text on your video.
  • Embed code that pops up in-stream ads.
  • Use a code that creates banner ads.
Most advertising programs work on a pay-per-click basis, meaning you earn a commission from each click.

YouTube Partnership Program

If you have a large enough video portfolio and you’re getting enough hits on your content, YouTube may allow you to become a partner. This means you get a share of the revenue it earns through its advertising efforts. To become a partner, you have to apply for the position with YouTube. The company will review your application and approve or decline it.

Sponsorships

If you want to make a higher percentage of revenue from advertising, look for sponsors from companies on your own. This requires you to sell ad space to sponsors and can be more work than the other methods of making money with YouTube. In order to attract sponsors, you’ll need to have video content capable of generating a high number of views.
With YouTube advertising, you have several options for making money. While it can be easy to set up advertising, most people find there is no easy way to get people to click on the ads. Even so, many individuals are making substantial amounts of money through YouTube.

Reflection Photography Inspiration

Want a new camera gadget that doesn’t cost hundreds or even thousands? Try a mirror or a puddle. Photographing reflective surfaces is a great way to show off skill and ingenuity. If you’d like your photography to play with point of view, explore multiple views of a subject, and use landscape reflection to show space and scale, then look to these great Flickr groups for inspiration.

1. Riflesso/Reflections

Kayak sobre las nubes / Sailing in the sky
Buildings, sunsets, self-portraits: This group is full of reflective photography’s great standbys. Yet Riflesso imbues them with an undeniable graphic panache. Start here to see reflective photography with the bar raised high.

2. Photoreflections

espejo
Perhaps because of the contest aspect (post one, award three), this group showcases well-considered, skillful shots. Come here to see unusual interpretations of reflections: shadows, windows, metal, Photoshopped images.

3. Reflections

Boat reflection
This is a great place to get a quick fix of inspiration. The photos here are more playful and witty than the baseline for reflective photography.

4. Reflections Spiegelungen

Orange Reflections
In contrast to the lighthearted “Reflections” group, Reflections Spiegelungen has an edgy, cosmopolitan feel. Come here to see urban scenes with a hint of futurism, and comparatively few mountain over a river scenes (though the few included nature scapes are stellar).

5.  Reflections/Distortions

bronze
The specialization of this group inspires photographs both great and mundane. For every shot of a Christmas ball there is a weird and irreproducible juxtaposition of light on the street; for every blurred waterfront landscape, there is a surreal experimental shot that highlights color and composition over content.

6.  Fragmented Reflections

2007-04-04 The fifth column
Despite the preponderance of cool-toned mirrored building shots, this group is far from monotonous. The focus of these photos is the often-unintended patterns formed by a series of reflections. Come here to forget architecture and just focus on the interplay of lines, repetitions, flaws, and movement.

7.  Sideways Nature Reflections on Water

compatibile
Want to analyze the composition and movement of a design? Turn it on its side. Sideways art escapes context, leaving form, movement, and color. This group’s photos are a field trip through nature photography – some are magnificent displays of organic motifs, and some just plod. (And some look like faces. Thanks, pareidolia.)

8. Abstract Reflections

Reflection of leaf
Since this group focuses on abstract photos, the design strikes first; after a delightful pause, the content of the picture is a delayed bonus prize. This group raises the bar high for skill. Not a muddy mountain scene in the lot.

9. Windows of Reflection

Windows reflected
And now for something different: This group is for light reflected off of other surfaces, rather than the reflector itself. Come here to see images projected, providing only hints of the form of the reflector. Stay for the ghostly, storied timbre of this pool’s oeuvre.

10. Reflections of…

Desktop Wallpaper with Water Reflection
This supergroup has more than 3,000 members, and yet manages to consistently surprise. It seems to cull the reflective gems from contributors who don’t specialize in reflective photography. As a result, many of these photos bring something fresh to the format. Come here to find a masterpiece, and stay to post your own.
These are just 10 of numerous “reflection” photography groups on Flickr. Spend a little time and you’ll probably find some inspiration of your own.
