Motion…

January 6, 2008 | My Photos | By: Mark VandeWettering

As a break from my amateur radio posts, here’s a photography one!

Most of my photographs are cool largely by accident. This is no exception. Well, that’s not quite true, I was sort of trying for this effect, but it turned out much better than I could have expected. It’s shot with the Night Portrait mode of my Panasonic point-n-click camera, which means that it holds the shutter open and hits the flash. Thus, you get some nice motion, and a fairly sharp image at the end. I think it’s kind of neat.

While I certainly concur that Night mode digital imagery with motion can lead to interesting results, I’ve found that Fireworks mode images of Ionic columns also leads to some stunning photos. Or was that Doric columns? No no no…CORINTHIAN columns. Yesss, that’s the ticket! Regardless, very nice composition.
