Lost Inwood Panoramas. Seaman Drake Arch Vista ca.1903
In this video we take a close look at a historic panoramic photo taken about 1903 of the Inwood or Dyckman section of north Manhattan in New York City. Taken before the subway reached the neighborhood, the photo has such detail that we can zoom in on various sections and fly over the terrain.
Lost Inwood Panoramas: Tubby Hook’s Boathouse Row
Using vintage panoramic and aerial photographs we tell the story of the boathouses and canoe clubs which used to exist along the Hudson River shore at Tubby Hook, just below Dyckman Street in NYC. Starting as a fisherman’s camp, in the 1830s early residents built a wharf at the site. In the 1900s as many as six recreational and competitive boating clubs lined the shoreline there, as well as a car ferry to New Jersey. Eventually fires destroyed several of the clubs. Today only one remains.

Nature Photography Stop Motion
WHAT IS STOP MOTION?
Stop motion is an animated filmmaking technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit independent motion or change when the series of frames is played back.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A STOP MOTION VIDEO?
(We used a free account with Kapwing, though there is other video-editing software available.)
To make a stop motion video, set up the scene you want to animate in from of a camera in a stable position. Then, make small changes to the scene and snap photos of every new frame.
Once you have all of the images you want to combine into a video, find the Montage Maker on the Kapwing homepage and click “Get Started.” Upload all of the images, choose your options, and click “Create” to stitch the images together into a continuous stop motion video. You can also watch this YouTube tutorial on how to use the tool.
