Repeat Photography as a Tool for Emphasizing Movement in Physical Geography

The theme of movement in physical geography is extremely important, but sometimes difficult to convey to students. Repeat photography, through the seasons of a year and across the years, is a simple yet valuable method for portraying movement of physical features on the landscape. This paper briefly describes the technique of repeat photography, and provides several photographic illustrations for incorporating it into the classroom. Suggestions for possible classroom questions that can be posed based on repeat photographs are provided.
