Drag Landscape

Tried something different the other day and way out of my normal comfort zone.

I have seen this type of shot done by other togs but not really my usual thing to do.

Would look pretty neat in a frame Steve.

How did you go about doing it?

Cheers Azz

I mounted the camera on a tripod and loosened the ball head so I could move the camera about.

Selected a small aperture so I cold get a slowish shutter speed. I focused (manual focus) on the trees using the the screen on the back of the camera.

I had a remote shutter cord attached and basically panned the camera from the top downwards releasing the shutter after starting the movement and continuing the movement for a short time after the shutter closes.

I had to try several different speed of panning al of which gave different effects.

Really like that effect Steve.

You should check this guy out for inspiration:

I have just started a long exposure thread on Post a Pic, so you can include more your experiments in there.

Nice idea and great result. I'm going to give this a bash! Thanks Steve.

Makes my eyes go a bit funny - but I really like it.
