Photo and Pictures

Last fall I experimented with using the zoom on my kitobjektiv 18-55mm for my EOS 350D to create a little movement in the images by using long exposure while zooming. First, I played with a pepper grinder that we have at home on the dinner table. I look to have quite some time and then I will zoom in the image in a continuous motion while being exposed.

The second image I have created two dimensions by creating almost a double exposure by having a slow shutter speed while zoomed in fairly quickly. I also tried to use the train in motion picture to create a little pad, but have not succeeded in really well. It has thus exposed a long time in two positions, but still moved between locations. I think it’s important to experiment in this way, not least in order to learn this with the exposure and shutter speed. I also think it can make really cool pictures.

It would be fun to see if others have experimented with this or if you go out now and play a little. Please feel free to show what you’ve caught in your experiments. By looking at other ways to shoot, you can learn a lot. Check in our community to be inspired by others. You can also see it applied on my Örnbräken picture.

Using long exposures when its still dark outside in sweden. Sets up the camera on slow shutter speed approximately 1.6 seconds. The shutter speed depends a little on what effect you want to get up. Since this concerns me the camera vertically to get brush strokes and colors are the light reflected from the subject so that this can be enough to test with different motives and produce different effects. It works just as well with compact cameras as well as SLR. As long as you stick with the long exposures.

You may want to start with to set the white balance by taking a normal picture first and see that it seems to be good in color. Photography is as much to break the rules and create new ideas that work for strict perspective and composition rules. Breaking the patterns and think for yourself how you want your image. It is equally important to be autonomous in its photographer than just follow others’ experience. Learn from others but to create itself, I think is a good slogan.

You can certainly develop this technology. I think I get better at understanding the final outcome, the more I practice on it so this can require a lot of practice to make nice pictures.
