Fall Triptych

Assignment: PCA125 – Intentional Blurs

OCT3-OCT17 2010

Image Tag: pca125

From: Fastball95 (Steve)

 

Mission:

Attempt to create an artistically appealing image using one of the many ways to create an intentional Blur.

This technique is gaining popularity in the Landscape and Nature Photo world rapidly. Look around at various print pieces for book covers, magazines and print ads, You will see less detail and more blur.

 

WIT: It has been dark and cold and rainy for 2 weeks solid, so I am told it is the perfect opportunity to take blurry shots. Well, I have taken nothing BUT blurry shots for these past 2 weeks! Lucky for me the assignment is blur (-:

 

I took one pic and made 2 copies, then put all 3 into a collage triptych using Picasa 3 (share ware). Then I exported the collage in to the program I use for pp (MS Digital Image Pro). WIth it, I altered the colour curves differently in each pic, and blended the splice lines and bumped the colour up. My goal was to create an 'artisitc' image that was intentionally blurry but to good effect. I wanted to create the illusion of a (seamless) multi-coloured 'fantasy' forest.

 

This is a little copse of aspen in the field adjacent to the college grounds. I took quite a few Eliot Porter pix in this grove as well.

 

The EXIF stuff is not displaying. Maybe it gets lost when I export from one photo program (Picasa3) into another (MS DIgital Image Pro).

 

In summary:

Date: October 7, 2010; 6:49 pm

Exposure: 0.100s (1/10)

Aperture: f/4.5

ISO: 400

 

Hand held - no wonder it's blurry!
