17 - Movement

Movement. Blurry cars, blurry legs, grass in the wind... traditional means how to express movement. Dustyn made a step further when he place camera in the moving car. And why not to move the camera itself? Our kids got a "surgeon's kit" from my sister-in-law who works in a hospital. And they immediately wanted to lay me on the table and take out my organs. The rear flash synchronization enables to move the camera around the subject and the final flash freezes it. This is the first kind of movement that I captured.


The second is from the vault. It shows another kind of motion - move of the zoom lens. It is from one of our trips made in June last year and I like the dazzling freshness of the colors.


The third and the last way I moved camera was to rotate it and hope that the subject in the axis of lens remains more or less sharp. This exercise has the least predictable outcome (at least in my hands). I'm showing two photos. The first I made earlier and I like it because the ducks look really funny. I recall I published this picture on some photo forum and then struggled a lot to convince others that it was not a Photoshop filter. I did not succeed.... So I asked myself if I can repeat it. I chose the flower of daffodil on our table. It swallowed some 20 frames before one of them was reasonably focused (I wasted more than thirty on the ducks). But I did it! No filters needed.
