Hello all!
In a series of posts on
The Circle Game thread, we had a little digression discussing some techniques using slow shutter speeds for creative play. Riggomatic noted that there was no thread devoted to lens and camera tricks, Savoche suggested the creation of just such a thread. So, here it is!
This thread is meant as a place to share photos using unusual techniques and tricks for shooting that you've discovered, invented or picked up from elsewhere. The emphasis is on interesting, unconventional, in-camera (as opposed to post-processing) techniques for image creation. Just about anything goes: multiple exposure, slow shutter speed, fast shutter speed, panning, etc. Even better if you can share the method behind the results so that others can try it out. For some people these might be new ideas, so the more techniques, the more information, the better. Let's see where this goes. So have fun and go wild!
So I'll start out with some of my experiments.
Here are some using slowish shutter speeds, some in combination with lens manipulation during the shot.
K-S2 , DA 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED @77mm, 100 ISO, f22, 1/20 sec
Here's a shot taken with a slow shutter speed with a slight change in focus applied during exposure, producing a combination of sharp and soft in the same image.
KP SMC Pentax-F 50mm F1.7, 800 ISO, f1.7, 0.3sec.
Zoom and pan during exposure:
KP HD Pentax-DA 16-85mm F3.5-5.6 ED DC WR, 3200 ISO
