Falling

Here's the first result of a new... well, let's call it "technique" I tried. The CAMERA TOSS!

 

Basically you through your camera in the air (while doing a long exposure) with some light source infront - in this case my tv. The results can be pretty interesting. I used my old samsung exilim, which isn't too good in shape anymore, so I wouldn't be sorry if it fell down :-)

 

You're asking yourself why someone would do this? Here's a wonderful quote from the flickr group "camera toss": "[...] It is about trading risk for reward in the pursuit of art. It is not about being a photographer, it is about enabling the photography that happens naturally when you let go of the process, give up control, and add a hell of alot more variables. It is about physics, gravity, angular momentum, acceleration, direction, chaos, and timing... most of which you have tenuous control of at best!"

 

Back to my first result: Do you also recognise a guy's head falling backwards here? :-) I do, but it could be because of my wacky fantasy *lol*
