I find this concept to be interesting. I might consider doing this. I have never tried to create blurred images, they just come out that way. Should I have some drinks before I take the pics? The swaying might just give me the effect I need.
So does this include applying blur, such as radial blur, zoom blur, gaussian blur, or do we try to take blurry images, which is a technique in itself.
for those coming in late and not starting from the start ... the side challenge doesn't "officially" start until August 1st - but keep the examples coming, they're great.
This is not my photo, but one that I voted a 10 on in the Natural Light Portrait. It was the photographers first challenge entry and I am going to send her a PM and invite her to join this side challenge.
This is one I took last year, which has been in my portfolio for awhile. It was a morning glory that I started at an aperture of around 6.5, then zoomed the lens to about a 14 or 15. I believe it was around a 1 sec exposure and I used a neutral density filter to allow me to take a long exposure without getting too much light. I often do that. Put on a darkening filter in order to take longer exposures, such as of water and stuff.
Well I did it, I bought a lensbaby. This is one of my first efforts with it. I'm not finding the focusing too easy - I struggle with manual focus at the best of times.
This is a photo I took a few weeks ago in one of my rare attempts at zoom exposure. I like the way it came out, but I had to take quite a lot of photos to get one I like.
Anyone interested should post photos to this thread for the month of August,
Whether you post 1 photo or 30 does not really matter as long as we can learn
from them, constructive criticism would be great, not so much back patting.
Include your name here if you’re interested.
Now that I re-read the original criteria, I guess I can be "in" -- I just don't have time for those "every day" type projects ...
I’d like to propose
a side challenge exploring this concept for August
