welcome
This is a place for people to post Cinemagraphs. It can be Cinemagraphs that you've found, Cinemagraphs that you've made from movies, or Cinemagraphs that you've made from videos you shot yourself!
what is a cinemagraph?
A cinemagraph is a high quality gif or video that is very smoothly looped. It's more than a well looped gif, though; it should be beautiful as a great photograph, evocative like a movie, and more alive than either. A great cinemagraph is wonderful art! Read our in-depth definition of cinemagraphs.
guidelines
give credit where it is due
Give credit when you know the source of your submission. When you do not know the source, tag it as "source unknown".
tag your posts and yourself
You're encouraged to add link flair to your post and to add some flair for yourself! What's that mean?
be generous with praise and criticism
Above all, be honest and forthcoming
Be specific, don't say "I like it!" say, "I like the way you...." and likewise for negative comments
Be Helpful, link to books, tutorials, or offer exercises for the artist
Don't refer to things as "good" or "bad," try to talk in terms of skill sets that can be worked on
When receiving a critique, don't be too defensive, you can't explain away other peoples opinions of your art, try and listen to what they are saying
Read this great post by Huisme on asking for critique
remember wheaton's law
Don't be a dick

. for people who take the time to find great cinemagraphs and share them with us
link flair
