DSC09828

This week I experimented with long exposures. This was kind of fun considering I’ve been wanting a reason to get out of the house every day during this Corona. The exposures that I used were anywhere between quarter of a second all the way to eight seconds. Collectively I went to multiple different places to take these shots, and after all of that I noticed that there was something on the lens in some of the pictures, which sucks but they still turned out okay. Another thing I thought was not as bad as it was is the lens flare on the bridge picture with the guy walking around. Overall, I liked the general idea of some of these photos, but in some sense this week I feel like I had poor execution. Overall, I think that some of the things I should have thought about more during this was the angle of the sun in comparison of where I was shooting. There were a couple of different techniques that I used for this, one being camera in place, which was most of the pictures, and moving the camera along the scene, which was the barn and driveway picture. Overall, I thought that the easier one with more control was the still camera approach. It was kind of difficult doing the moving vehicle shots, just because you do not know what the shot is going to look like until its too late. I achieved these shots by sitting in the passenger seat of our truck with a camera mount attached to the window and shooting when we passed by things for around 30 minutes.
