Blur Action
For the third official shooting assignment in Digital Photography the class was challenged with taking photos using three different types of blurred action. The three types of blurred action are traditional, panning and experimental. The traditional form of blurred action utilizes either one element in a still photo being moved or the general photo being blurred. The panning form of blurred action is a type of photography that uses motion to create a blur effect by following something that is moving in order to make it appear in focus. The last form of blurred action is experimental. This form of blurred action is left up for interpretation to the photographer. Some examples of experimental photos are light drawing, zooming and multiple exposures. For this assignment, the class was tasked with taking one traditional photo, one panning photo, two experimental photos and two other blurred photos of your choice. In this assignment Grant struggled with the panning aspect due to the fact that he was unable to accurately follow the moving subject sometimes. His favorite photo is the image of him. The photo was taken in the studio by spinning around a light strip after a light was shined on him. Another one of his favorites is the fourth image because the light coming off of the hand looks very interesting.
