Bannack: Action Blur & Freeze

This assignment was all about playing around with shutter speed. The action shot has a very fast shutter speed whereas the ghost shot has a very slow shutter speed.

Action Blur
  
Longing for the Light: 2/22/11—1:14 PM; f/3.5; 5 sec.; Canon PowerShot A1100; used tripod
-To get this effect, I had the subject stand in the frame of the picture for about 2.5 seconds (half of the actual shutter opening time) and then move out of the frame very quickly. I made this picture black and white and increased the brightness and the contrast to the image just slightly. I added a flexible vignette to the picture as well.

Action Freeze
Heel Clickers: 2/22/11—2:00 PM; f/16; 1/160; Nikon D70s
-I applied a smart sharpen to this image and also boosted the contrast a little bit.

Oh wow! I love the Ghost shot! You did a great job of not only making him look like a ghost but also composing the image the whole thing give it a ver erie, real ghost shot. I love that the light brought out his face more. I also love the editing you did to make those final touches on your picture. GReat job!
