Travels with my camera

A micro four thirds camera is so much easier to carry than a DSLR so my E-P2 goes everywhere with me. Arty, serious, frivolous, documentary or just plain fun. It will all be here.

Day 73 another blur-o-graph

A really dull rainy day today. The perfect opportunity to try some more "blurography". There's little information out there on how to do it so I have to learn by experiences. I probably shot a good dozen or so of this one area and this is number 12 thats why I stopped.
"Quit while you're winning" say I.
I'm formulating some theories on this blur-o-graphy lark and grass seems a pretty easy subject to cut your teeth on. Being vertical it's easy to tilt the camera vertically and not loose sight of what the subject is.

Two fer... Day 70

Bit of a treat for you today. Two pictures. The first was taken first thing this morning as I spied the sunlight caressing the heavily dew laden grass. I thought "I bet there's a picture out there" and rushed out with my camera in hand and took some shots. Examining some I discovered that I had accidentally set the camera to f22 and a slow shutter speed, blurring everything. But I really liked what I saw so I carried on like that. Here's my favourite of the bunch.
Then tonight I went down to the river to record the days results of the bridge demolition, of which more another day. After finishing there I was drawn to the flow of the river over some rocks. I could see there was a picture in there and hoped I could record it. So I set my camera up with as slow shutter speed as I could waited until the exposure time got down to over 3 seconds and click.
I was right there was a picture there. This is exactly as I hoped it would look. I've never been so pleased with a picture in my life before.
