Challenge:Apple (Basic Editing III) Camera:Minolta DiMAGE Xt Location: my study, Victoria BC Date: May 13, 2005 Aperture: camera default ISO: camera default Shutter: camera default Galleries:Snapshot, Action Date Uploaded: May 13, 2005
Using a Minolta Dimage Xt, I don´t really have many options -- every picture is simply a snapshot. Except zooming (in the modest range the camera offers) there is only the flashlight. I usually like turning the flash off, but in this case, the falling apple was still a bit blurred, when being flashed. I dropped the apple about 30 times, until I had a few pictures, where the apple at least was *in*. The picture is not modified by any software at all, except adjusting the default image size of the camera to the maximum size allowed in the challenge.

thanks for the comments, everyone -- just trying to answer any questions left open here. I am aware, it really looks like the apple is moving up, but it was actually falling down. I tried a few snapshots with a plain white background, but that literally only left a green blur.
Good idea, but the bookselves in the background are distracting. Would love to see it in front of a plain dark background to better get the sense of motion.
