Variations on a theme
I just spent a few days away visiting relatives and a scorching beach in Maine. Not one to sit around I grabbed my trusty camera and set out to practice some long exposure shots.
All are the result of panning moving objects to capture motion - not only in the background but in the subjects themselves.
- All shots taken at 1/4sec, ISO 100 using an ND6 filter to reduce light.
As you can see, there are 3 distinct pairs of shots capturing the same subject.
- Which is your preference within each pair?
- Do you have a favorite from the bunch?
- Do you have any comments on the series in general?
All comments, whether positive or negative are always appreciated.

I have a tendency to try to enlarge a photo on any web platform first.
I don't trust my eye/hand coordination, so I use a tripod for anything that is not spontaneous.
It's not too often I read "...practice some long exposure shots." and associate it with a 1/4-second shutter speed.😂
I love the color balance in all your photos. Great job.
Thanks for the feedback Dean.
I would say 1/4 second is a long exposure but understand where you are coming from (these were all hand-held.)
Panning a moving subject is always hit or miss, especially with longer exposures. There are many more that have ended up on the cutting room floor so to speak
In these I tried to follow the subject to maintain some sense of clarity in the core of the subject.
