Long Exposure: Water

To my 51 followers and readers,

yes that's a big number for me! (:

Thanks for being patient with my delayed posting.

It was/is a busy week & weekend, so I could barely catch the time to blog.

I need to get back into this. Missed it reading comments and finding new blogs!

Here's just a little something:

I took these over the weekend for a photography project.

Our assignment:

To take a long exposure photograph.

Long exposure just means that the shutter in the camera is opened for a longer period of time so more light gets in. This prolonged capture takes in the movement of water and blurs it creating the above effects.

The shutter speed should be below 1/15 of a second. For example: I took one of these photos for 13 secondss. (Tripod must be used!)

For those of you who dont understand photography talk, dont mind it.

Just throwing out there what I learn (:

It's actually pretty neat to learn about it & it was fun to take these pictures.

A little simple creek/stream by my house turned out to be so pretty.

P.S. Man I've been so busy this week I forgot to put my little GloriaZaytsevPhotography logo on the pictures.

Oh Well! (:

Landscape

• photography class always fills me up with projects
• my current one is landscape photography
• so i took a few. (aren't the best)
• but i worked with what i captured.
• the requirements for a landscape shot are:

-horizon line

                                     -foreground, midground, background

              -& composition is key 

• here are the one's that i think turned out the best:
• which one should i turn in?

i think the first one is my favorite, because it's not your "typical" landscape photo.

Sunriver!

• went to Sunriver (Bend, Oregon) this weekend
• here are some snapshots of our adventure
• my arm is in a sling because I sprained my wrist snowboarding (for those of you wondering)
• enjoy!

on the way there (4-hour drive)

the Three Sisters

 

for the image above: i created that blur effect on the river, by using a low shutter speed.

i guess i do learn something in photography class.

Jump Shots

Photography Class

My Assignment:

• Take a number a photographs using certain shutter speeds (fast, medium, slow)
• Human subject must be jumping
• Catch hangtime (the time when subject is all the way up, and not yet coming down)
• Here are the best shots (some are supposed to be blurry)



Shutter speed: 1/15



Shutter speed: 1/60

Shutter speed: 1/250

Shutter speed: 1/500

Shutter speed: 1/500

• As you can tell, the slower the shutter speed (smaller number) the more blurry the photo will be.
• & the faster the shutter speed (bigger number) the more clear the photo will be.
• That's why the 1/500 photographs are much more clear than the 1/15 photos.
• I hope I get an A!
• Thank you, Inna, for being a terrific model (:
