Like most people, I came to know about cinemagraphs through Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg’s site. They coined the term, which, in their words is an image that is “experienced and preserved endlessly.” Or, as I like to call them, “like a Gif, but better.” Or, perhaps you might think of them like this: [inlinetweet prefix=”” tweeter=”” suffix=”null”]”Like the pictures in Harry Potter, only not as creepy.”[/inlinetweet]
That’s a lot of ways of saying “partially-animated pictures.”
However you describe them, here are 22 awesome cinemagraphs. You can click on each one for the source, and to share them. Because I know you’ll want to.
