I wanted to experiment with light motion photography. I find
that type of photography that has a still figure (or subject) with a swish of
ethereal light eye catching. I placed my camera on “S” (Shutter speed setting)
with the following camera settings – WB: S APERTURE: F25 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1.3
ISO: 100. The sun had just set (behind me and to the
right), the sky was overcast, and I was surrounded by green leaves. I set a
timer, and when I heard the shutter “click” and then I moved an LED flashlight
in my right hand. I adjusted the levels of the picture, to bring out the color
and light. I also used a filter to reduce as much of the surrounding noise as
physically possible. Finally, I cropped the picture to center the focus. I
found this picture to be curious or imaginative in mood. I took this photo
right outside of my house; off of my patio. I took a handful of pictures before
I obtained the picture where I was in focus, and the swirl of light was most
eye catching. I was trying to use the rule of thirds, catching the swirl of
light in the left two cross sections of the image. I also was attempting to use
the compositional element of dominant eye.
The strongest part of this image I feel is the reflective light in my eyes
and on the palm of my hand. I feel, that
once again, the weakest part of this image is the NOISE. I think I am going to
start going full manual mode, and be able to adjust the ISO. I am learning so much about how to use my
camera, and wear my mistakes are, with possible methods to improve them.
