The Last Track

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…

Panning

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.

Bokehlicious

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.

Some experimental stuff

Just playing a little with the zoom. Getting kind of dizzy when looking for too long at this picture…
