Rule book, anyone?

Occasionally, it's good to tear up the photographic rule book (is there such a thing, anyway?), just to see what you can come up with. During the winter months I made numerous seascape images using long shutter speeds, allowing part of the composition to blur through motion, but always using a steady camera support to keep the rest of the image sharp.

Today, with the rule book well and truly ripped asunder, I made photographs by deliberately moving the camera during exposure to blur everything. The results are rather hit-or-miss, and I took many frames before I started to come up with something pleasing, but experimentation is the key with this technique. Just choose the subject wisely.


24-70mm f/2.8 AF-S Nikkor. 1/10 second at f/14. Camera moved vertically during exposure. Polarising filter to help get the shutter speed down. ISO 100
