Have you heard of these super cool picture/video thingys called “cinemagrpahs?”

They’re awesome. Basically a still picture with a subtle touch of motion…a picture with a tiny piece of video. Very cool.

Here’s the definition from Wikipedia: Cinemagraphs are still photographs in which a minor and repeated movement occurs. Cinemagraphs can give the illusion that the viewer is watching a video.

I’ve been trying to get all of the pieces in line to create one, and I finally figured it out. At the risk of being less than humble, I have to say that I think it’s pretty groovy.

Below is our first of many Outer Banks Cinemagraphs. It is a picture of a beautiful day at Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head with the wind turbines spinning to generate some OBX wind energy. Rad right?!

Stay tuned; we’ll have more OBX Cinemagraphs headed your way soon. And if you have a special one that you’d like to see, please let me know in the comments below…I love to hear from you.

Oh yeah, and let me know what you think of the Outer Banks Cinemagraphs…cool or what?

PS – You may have the click on the picture to get the full effect of the movement.
