Motion 4

This week I spent more time getting closer to physical objects instead of from afar and applying the same zooming techniques as before. It seemed to be pretty successful and unique compared to the obvious and somewhat repetitive street photos from earlier on in the series. This also made shooting easier because I could choose subjects in the shade allowing me to shoot with longer exposures.

Long Exposure #3/Motion

This week didn't change all that much in terms of methodology. However, I shot more photos indoors since it was becoming very bright and hard to maintain a balance of long exposure and low f-stops. This made shooting much easier to take. This week, I couldn't find time to take photos at night.

Long Exposure #2/Motion

This week I changed the way I took photos. Although the photos at night seemed more successful, I didn't have the time to go out due to homework or rain. Instead, I had to change the way I shot during the day. Instead of panning the camera, I tried to zoom inwards and outwards while the shutter was open. This created a kind of "pull focus" that allowed me to focus on non-vehicular subjects. Again I shot in the landscape orientation and due to the nature of zooming with an open shutter, the focus seems to be in the exact center of the photo. However, there is a photo where the focus is in the corner... I am not sure how I got that...
