All kind of photos taken with non normal camera parameters like long time exposure, panning or by using filters. These photos have not been photoshopped although they may look as if they were.
I took this series of images while playing the LP Coping with the Urban Coyote from Unida on a Rega Planar 1. Exposure time was between 0.4 and 0.8 seconds.
I am taking this pictures as inspiration to listen to my vinyls more often…
For me panning shots are often try and error shots. So usually I make a whole series using shutter priority mode with different time settings. Surprisingly this “one shot picture” of an ambulance in Madrid resulted in a nice panning photo.
If you ever thought about pimping your bokeh in an experimental way, here is a nice and easy howto.
The shape of the bokeh is defined by the shape of the aperture. Usually a lens has eight or nine a bit curved aperture blades which model a more or less perfect circle resulting in the typically circle bokeh (see the fist picture). So if you use a wide aperture and add a smaller stencil in front of the lens the bokeh will have the shape of the stencil instead of the shape modeled by the aperture blades. In picture two I used a star stencil and in picture three a snowflake stencil resulting in little star and snowflake bokeh. As you can see in the three picture I used the handlebars of my bike as focus point.
Just playing a little with the zoom. Getting kind of dizzy when looking for too long at this picture…
