Ghost Walk

52 Assignments Exposure 35 - Blurred Vision

Trying to capture motion blur in the leaves wasn't working, so I changed gears and combined a small tripod, self-timer and ND filter to get a long exposure, thereby facilitating this self-portrait.

To The Gate

1/14/11 - Week 2
Waiting at the SFO Red Carpet Club for my flight home, I checked today's Daily Shoot assignment #425: "Let's play with movement today. Get a shot of something in motion. Freeze it or let it blur.  It's up to you!"  Since I had the D90 with me this week, I was able to play around with the settings to capture some shots of people coming and going.

Sheer Beauty

Another shot taken in the forest preserve yesterday.  I unintentionally did a double exposure in camera with one of the shots being vertical motion blur.  Interesting window sheer effect.

Surreal

1/8/11 - Week 2
Have been wanting to try the vertical motion blur with my DSLR camera since I saw a cool shot by a Flickr friend last week.  This is the first of a series taken in a forest preserve today using my 50mm lens.  More will be posted later in the week.

Blur at the Brewery

1/5/11 - Week 1
After dinner with a colleague at Steelhead Brewery in Burlingame (California), I wanted to experiment with vertical motion blur.  Honest, I only had one beer.
