Actually it's an old technique, but new to me. I like the effects you can get. Most come out blurry or uninteresting, but I like the occasional good ones. Probably not everyone's taste, but for those who like something different...

ISO 800, f/10, 1/10 sec.

Interesting, like # 1. :D

I love the technique. It gives the picture just a little more than just - well "plainness" if that's term. I took this one of my grandson tearing up the ice rink.

Ooh...I like it. The colors, the movement...nice.

Endless possibilities with this. And the cool thing is, unlike static images, you never know ahead of time just how it will turn out. Keep it up, vary your shutter speed a lot, plenty of surprises in store as you refine your technique.

Yeah, that's the fun part. Thanks for the suggestion on varying shutter speed. I'll play around with it.

Avsinc is correct. As for the oldies doing this sort of stuff Ernest Haas would be a good one to know and study. Freeman Patterson, Michael Orton, Branson Reynolds, myself we mess around with this stuff. I call them "bent light koans" which is a concept Minor White extolled. Because you are introducing the elements of time and movement into the image there is a fairly large degree of chance / serendipity that takes place. Over time, one learns the best movements, light, subjects etc to maximize the chances of receiving a gift....and it always feels like a gift - a grace.

Very cool. Bent light koans is a great name. I love Minor White and will definitely look more at the others, too. Thanks for the info and the zen. :-)
I would love to see some more from people who have been doing it awhile...

Now I'm in love with Ernst Haas. Love the bullfighter in particular, but they're all good. Can't wait to check out the others you suggested. So many good photographers, so little time...

My first time seeing this technique (that I can recall) and it has very interesting results. Like both of your photos, but #1 is especially captivating.

Good job! :thumbup:

Love #1 great job! What program did you use for the HDR?

Having trouble figuring this one out. What is moving - the person or the camera (as in panning)? Would you mind explaining your technique? #1 is awesome! Thanks.

Very very interesting shots.

So is this a slow shutter speed combined with flash?
