Title: Chat for weekly comp - INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT
Post by: Delamanda on June 05, 2011, 07:04:07 PM

INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT - does it deserve a place in photography or is it another example of the King's New Clothes approach to justify not deleting all those duff shots?  I thought that setting it as this week's theme would help decide!!

So anything with intentional camera movement - the more abstract, the better.

Mmmmmm, interesting theme.  I'm really good at unintentional camera movement, I can see I'm going to have to investigate this other type of camera movement  ;)

Here's my entry, I probably won't have time this weekend to do any else for this challenge.

I thought to myself 'panning is intentional camera movement', but then I thought Del was probably after a bit of motion blur, so I turned off the IS, held at hip height a sort of semi panned at passing pedestrians, cyclist and cars. This one seemed to work. So here it is.

Here's my entry. Dug my old push-pull zoom out of retirement & zoomed while taking the pic.
May not fit the brief of camera movement so I wont be upset if its not eligible.

Well it's been raining now non-stop since early morning (well early for a Sunday), so I'm in with this.

It's actually me trying to follow water from an overflowing guttering and taken through a rain spattered window.

I did try - honest! But every shot turned out blurred!

Just realised that it's from the 5th May (a slight case of RTFM!) so I've entered - I love slow shutter but it's a bit of a lottery with horse trials as there's not only the horizontal pan but vertical movement will ruin the shot (it's surprising how smooth horse and rider heads can be!)

I'm working on a really ancient laptop this week, which takes forever to do anything, so the poll will not be posted until early afternoon.  Hold those votes!
