Those are very pleasing images Dcrob...I've seen this technique done by Bryan Peterson and these are better than what he was getting :)


thanks

[quote=Lucian]Docrob...

The images you showed were from Branson right, not your own? Do you have any of your own that you would like to share with us?

Jared..

yes I do and those have been posted under "creating blah blah blah pt 1)
see photo analysis section - and also see Intentional Blurs.

Lucian gave a nice summary - Earnst Haas (google) was the pioneer in this technique then along came Freeman Patterson, Michael Orten and others including Branson.

Since you will never be able to replicate your own movements exactly from shot to shot - each one will be unique. The last image of White Sands NM does not use vertical movement (as trees do) the beauty of this simple shot (#3) is that the scene is so ordinary 99% of us would just walk on by without a second glance....

I'm so happy I saw this today! I took a pic of my son walking down the beach and apparently had "camera shake". I didn't realize it until I loaded it on my pc, but thought when I saw it, " Ummm, a happy accident". I really liked it. I LOVE the idea of dancing with the camera and will definitely give that a try. Thanks for your time and knowledge!


happy accidents are what we are all aiming for.......glad you had one and glad you had the vision to see it as more than simply a blurred shot.

thank you

There are many ways to create a picture as opposed to clicking a shutter for whatever happens to be in front of a camera. Besides camera movement,some things work with zoom,some with half the exposure still and the rest blurred,multiple exposure,a subject that is moving in the wind,shooting through something in front of the camera,and people moving in front of slow shutter etc. (Digital has been so much fun i haven't got around to scan and convert old slide film experiments though.)

Thanks for posting this. A while back I asked HHs how to paint with your camera and did not receive the feedback I was looking for. This is what I was talking about in my question.

Awhile back I posted a tutorial here on the Hog entitled: “Creating Impressionistic (painterly) effects with Movement.” In that post I mentioned that for those who do not use Nikon or have multiple exposure capabilities that in addition to those features one can also create similar effects by moving the camera.

Moving camera and body as one might stroke a brush across a canvas or dance with the wind. The possibilities are endless. The point is to play, to experience joyfulness, to be free...

I have a buddy who uses Canon. We go out together – sit awhile in some shade and talk bout stuff till one or both feels the pull to go wonder. Branson Reynolds (dotcom) creates amazing images of light and motion and of time and depth and he does it by moving his camera and his body in some manner that feels intuitively right. I can’t really explain it – it’s as if he is dancing or having a seizure....

Branson shared his basic camera recommendations and they go something like this: Zooms are good –(he uses a 35-135). The basic formula is: Use Shutter preferred; obtain a shutter speed in the range of 1/8 a second; auto or manual focus – your choice; locate suitable subject; take a deep breath and dance!

There is another thread along this theme floating around the Hog called: Intentional Blurring. The images posted there more clearly reveal the relative jerkiness of using both multiple exposures and camera movement combined. Branson’s images (below) are much closer to the impressionistic effect one gets with a slow shutter speed and an even waltz or maybe a skittish foxtrot.

Anybody coming out Durango, Co way and wanting to experience and not just get a bunch of pictures of our beautiful 4corners area give BransonReynold’s website a look. His tours are not just about taking images they are about capturing moments.

I was really glad to see this also. At Christmas I got this weird shot but thought it was great. I was taking a picture of my son and daughter in law and moved at the last minute. It looked like the christmas lights swirled around them in a weird sort of way. Is that something like you're talking about it? I tried to repeat the mistake and got some good but not as good. I'm just a beginner in most ways so I'm up for challenging myself. What are good things to try with that technique? Those photos are great.

Hello, I saw someone doing that in a long exposure how to video and called it light painting. I tried it and this is what I got. Thanks

Probably - or at least maybe! With practice creating images like those above become slightly less accidental...........I have my opines and Branson has his - and you yours......trees seems to be popular though....

This was my attempt at a similar look. It was SO much fun to create. I forgot my tripod in my room, so simply "danced" on the beach at twilight.
