Traditional photographs don't do justice to the dynamism of gymnastics. Athletes are in constant motion, completing intricate tricks that flow one into the other. At the recent Olympic gymnastic trials held in San Jose, California, photographers Julie Jacobsen of the Associated Press and Ezra Shaw of Getty Images used multiple exposure photography to capture the movement of the young competitors' stunning routines.
Multiple exposure photography superimposes two or more exposures to create a composite image that reveals the movement of a subject through time and space. These images were taken at about a quarter of a second per frame.
Wow! I can really appreciate this since I coach competitive gymnastics! Thanks for the share! I do believe I will be trying this one one day soon! :) Thanks!!
