Nature in motion
Tried some new techniques involving long exposure plus camera motion. This gives a sense of motion and drama to otherwise common static objects, such as these plants here.
These two shots combined zooming with long exposure. I’m really fond of the floral one as it gives sense of color explosion :)
This one involves camera rotation, which is actually harder to pull off than the zooming one since you can’t rely on tripod for stabilization.
I found that there’re a few things that are essential for this type of shots work:
- Steady, steady and steady frame! (I guess this is a no brainer)
- A central theme object. You can’t just make anything play nice with motion.
- A static focal point. You want some part of the image (the centroid) to remain clear and vivid so that audience can actually make out what you’re shooting at.
Try play with this next time you go shooting! You’ll love it :D
