Slow shutter creativity!
(example of shooting while twisting the camera.)
Have you ever been bored shooting sharp pictures, by-the-book technicals? Have you ever wanted to try something unusual? i guess this is just the right article for you to read. Let me share with you some fun stuff and out of the box techniques that will bring out a new paradigm in your photos and boost your creativity.
The tricks here are done with a slow shutter to show a sense of movement in the image and no post processing required, just between you and your good old camera.
(example of slow sync flash technique.)
=Zoom burst. This is done by setting your
camera on a slow shutter like 1/30 or slower. focus on your subject and simultaneously twist your zoom lens while pressing the shutter! Be surprised with the final image.
=Bulb setting trick. You need patience before you can master this trick. This trick is the secret to capturing star trails and moving city traffic at night. You need a tripod and long battery life for this technique.
=Twist. Twisting your camera gives a swirling and abstract effect on the image.
=Panning. Follow he moving subject with your camera while pressing the shutter.
=Slow sync flash. Put your setting on a slow shutter and just the flash. This is great on a low light situation e.g inside a bar or disco. Experiment by either shooting still or moving the camera in whatever directions your want.
