Scrambler was shot at about 1/15 of a second while I was seated inside the moving ride! I was a little nervous when I climbed aboard this carnival ride with my daughter and my brand new camera in hand. After a few seconds I figured the camera was a lost cause about to be reduced to techno-trash, but I managed to pull off a couple of interesting shots anyway. The camera remarkably survived without any noticeable problems. |
Rush Hour Train was taken
while waiting for CalTrain to get the hell out of my way. With nothing better to do I
pulled out the camera, shut off the engine, and snapped this little shot at 1/15 second
from my dashboard. Notice the reflection of the traffic signal in my windshield which
shows up on the left hand side above the car in the foreground. |
Blurred Motion TechniquesThis is one of the simplest of all photographic techniques which is to simply set the camera in Shutter priority mode and select a speed like 1/15 of a second. Unless the camera is mounted on a tripod you may want to take several shots just to make sure you got one which has some sharp elements in it.
