As a series or row Photography Photography refers to a form of expression of photography, in which a sequence of photographic images are combined to a row or series.

History

In the development of photography moment or torque photographs were possible and can be combined to series in the 70s to 80s of the 19th century for the first time. Used for this series, the term chronophotography or Fotochronografie was ( "time" χρόνος: Greek ). Eadweard Muybridge photographed, among others 1872 for Leland Stanford, the movement phases of a galloping horse with first 12, then 24 and finally 36 synchronized cameras, the first series of photographs probably originated in the strict sense. Muybridge published his work in the volumes Animal Locomotion and The Human Figure in Motion, which consisted exclusively of illustrations with photographs series. Other pioneers of the moment photography and its advancement to the moving image are Étienne- Jules Marey and the inventor of the focal plane shutter Ottomar Anschütz. These early series recordings were also fundamental to the development of film.

Series of multiple images

Series recordings on one or more image -makers are now used for the analysis of movement, such as in sports. While the cameras used for this purpose primarily for cost and expense reasons, a professional use necessitated earlier, are feasible with today possible digital means, but also with cheap cameras Simple applications also in the leisure and the arts. The borders of photomontage and film camera or to stroboscopic here are fluent. When motion picture is called Photography series and phase images.

The Series can bridge both time, so for example, a chronology show (a tree at different seasons ), as also bridge room, so face scenes from different regions of the world.

In sports photography are all sorts of sports cameras with a high frame rate (5 to 10 pictures per second) used to " the right moment " to hold the image. As a rule, only one image from this series will be published.

Example of a shooting in a handball game:

Series in a single image

The individual images of a series of images can be positive or negative exposed on a single; this is called a multiple exposure. Particularly popular here is the combination with a strobe flash, with the example, the individual phases of a movement can be captured in a single image.

This form of serial photography is used in the Chrono Photography. Marey's photographic gun chrono from 1883, for example, held a series of exposures determined on a single plate.
