fun with light

[BELLERBY]

I'm guessing that all of you guys have done it, but this was my first time. Our tutor taught us flash n blur, and as soon as I got home that night I was experimenting and having a great time!

I know these are a bit cheesy, but I had to show just how much fun I was having.

Luke,

I'm new at this, so my opinion may not count as much. I do like the one at top, though the mirrors are a bit distracting. But for just having fun I think the technique is pretty cool. I'm not quite sure what flash and blur is, but I'm guessing you set your camera to a long shutter speed, moved the lights around a lot in a dark room and then somewhere in there had a flash go off to capture some still motion? Is that close or not? I am curious how you set the setting though to account for the light coming in on the flash.

These photos are a lot of fun. I'd say that my favourite is the first one specifically because of the reflections, but I understand why other people won't like them.

Here was my next attempt at using it out in the street, trying handheld at night:



and DJ, you're spot on with the previous shots. The flash went off at the start.

I don't remembe to have tried this, but it looks great! I like a lot #1... The reflection gave me a nice idea to play with...

Great job Luke!
I love playing around with stuff like this. It almost doesn't matter how the photos turn out, it's just heaps of fun actually taking the shots.
