Cool Beach Cinemagraph

Here at cool pictures we've discovered a new love of cinemagraphs and this is a cool example of a beach scene we wanted to share with our readers.

Cinemagraphs are still images that contain within themselves living elements allowing a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved. Cinemagraph is a technique of blending the effects of images and videos and was introduced by a New York fashion photographer Jamie Beck, in collaboration with motion graphics designer Kevin Burg.

Since then, many other designers have created similar forms of cinemagraphs. Cinemagraphs are typically simply created as animated .gif files making them easy to use on a web page.
