timsdd aka Tim’s Digital Darkroom

This is the last batch from this set.
I wanted to try something different towards the end. Hopefully you went get ‘motion’ sickness from some of them :P

The technique is simple if you have a zoom lens and a tri-pod. Make a long exposure and while the shutter is open move the focal length from 24-70 (or whatever it may be). Many times it comes up with a cool effect, sometimes not but it’s fun with digital to experiment like this. Not something I would have tried very often when shooting film.

I will admit, the effect is kind of uneasy on the eyes but I thought the contrasts between the darker surroundings and the brightness of the leaves would make for some cool zoom drags.

These are slight variations on the same scene but I just liked them too much to pick and chose, I just chose them all!

I was just loving this particular scene, I hope you can see why!

This one was quite unique and I left it muted to highlight the sun just BLAZING the section of tree on the left. It was one of only a handful of times there was direct sunlight that morning. The one I really wanted I missed, it was on the opposite side of the road (where the fog it) but man, it was a wild sight.

I was using the pictures from my Facebook Fanpage for this blog but I just couldn’t let you suffer through the low quality versions that I have on there anymore!

I think it’s high time that I make the switch to my regular website for hosting the pictures and then just UL them from there to Facebook.

So anyway, for what it’s worth, I wanted you to see the better versions of the pic that I have been posting!
