Ken Abrahams Posted July 5, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) One of my favourite techniques involves creating images that show movement. The movement could be intentional camera movement, slow shutter speeds with moving subjects and sometimes working abstractly with "blurs". Leica quality seems to produce some of the best texture and grain when creating movement of subjects. I hope to add some images from my city street moves and others like this image taken today. Please feel free to add any memorable blurry, slo mo, long exposure, ICM imagery you have. Welcome, dear visitor!

Thanks War, I appreciate your feedback. The ones you liked are recent creations which I am having a lot of fun with. It’s hard for me to know sometimes, whether the creations are “too much”. I’m reasonably conservative in a lot of ways and question whether these photographic impressions go too far. I love doing them, the movement/distortions, the richness of colours and the potential stories within the image. Best Ken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Albertson Posted July 16, 2023 Share #18 Posted July 16, 2023 I was up at 4:30 this morning to shoot the participants in the annual STP, a 206-mile bicycle ride between Seattle and Portland; they go by my place a mile or so from the start. Most riders do it over Saturday and Sunday, but the hard-core do it in a day. Too high a shutter speed leaves you with a rather static picture, so I tend to go for the "swishy-pan" effect, as Ted Grant called it. This guy was on one of those lie-flat bikes that I've never really understood the point of. Despite the effect of the 1/2 second shutter speed (1/30 works better), he wasn't going all that fast, and was nearly crushed like a roach by a passing Kia. Welcome, dear visitor!

I like the experimental factor or should I say unpredictable nature of the results. I did the same (as you) while a passenger in 4wd, deep into the outback. At different apertures and shutter speeds and camera movements the results a so abstract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Abrahams Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share #20 Posted July 16, 2023 City Workers - heading for the train station. I am using M lenses with the SL2S to help with zone focussing. The optimal light is dusk or pre dusk that is, dark light to help colour saturation, low shutter speeds and shop windows glowing. I manage ISO to achieve 0.6 sec - 1/8. 1/2 1/4 or even one second exposures. Once the settings are optimal it's just a matter of waiting for surges of pedestrians to cross intersections.
