Projekt 52 topic 8: Movement

2009-02-22

The topic of week 8 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

Movement

Things like this wouldn’t work without moving:

08: Movement (1)

Topic 08: Movement

Light painting with a long lighter.


The more modern variant:

08: Movement (2)

Topic 08: Movement

Light painting with an LED flashlight.


Created with 11 mm focal length1 – my windowless (thus always darkenable) bathroom isn’t that big2 –, aperture 3.5, ISO 100 and an exposure time of 20 (top) and 10 seconds (bottom).

  1. on a crop camera – Canon 40D –, so effectively 17.6 mm [↩]
  2. alright, I could’ve moved the little closet I used as camera stand further away, but I was too lazy for that. ;) [↩]

…such as this one – and also wrapped-up trees “sweat” icily:
