Well, kind of...... I have been thinking of how the technique I use to create long exposures of moving people might be expanded upon.
This requires both subject and camera moving at a similar speed as the shutter is opened, limiting the boundaries of the technique.
After a number of failures, I came up an idea of attaching my iPhone to my bike, taking pictures whilst traveling behind a subject.
As you might imagine, this is highly variable, made slightly less precarious by firing the shutter using a remote trigger.
Here are some early results. Posting more to present the technique I would however be interested to know what others think about the results (ALL opinions respected and appreciated).
Hm... The perspective, especially in the closer shots of the byciclists, is highly questionable for me: highly unestetical from my poi t of view. Very unpleasing.
Interesting, thanks for sharing your viewpoint.
This type of work is usually divisive so it’s great to hear the perspective of others.
It’s a work/experiment in progress so we’ll see if anything becomes of it.
Focus Tracking ICM.
I like the unique composition that each represents...well, except for 1, 4,5, and 6, which all have the same: landscape, hardscape, landscape, water with sky.
2, 4, 5, and 7 have an interesting unrecognizable recognized aspect in each: Coca-Cola machine, Carrying a jacket, Multiple riders, fence and 'bridge'?
I cannot imagine how many photos didn't make the cut. As usual you are the Master-Extraordinaire with this genre of photography.
Thanks for your kind input and opinion Dean. These were taken on 2 separate/initial attempts so the sample size/location is small at this point.
As you suggest there were a large number of failures, one of the big issues is predicting the actions of the rider ahead and being able to follow their path.
I just wanted to post these as initial results of experimentation. As I like to get out on my bike I will hopefully get more opportunities to practice further and produce a larger body of acceptable work.
