This is the final camera movement photo in this series. Here I changed my process and used Photoshop in the post processing, including the use of the motion filter and a lot of color adjustment. I enjoyed the class and had a lot of fun playing around with breaking the rules.
Second part of the camera movement series: the shutter speed varied from 1/3rd second to 1.8 seconds, with an f-top of 9 and the ISO on the camera set to L1 … which Lightroom read as 31.
I recently had the pleasure to take a photography course taught by Brian Goodman at the Northwind School of Art here in Port Townsend. Brian does a lot of wonderful documentary images of people and places, but he is also quite gifted at abstract images that use camera movement (both in camera and using Photoshop filters). These are two I took of a hillside right after the first class session. Out of the camera, the images were just faint blurs … but increasing color contrasts and texture settings in Lightroom created the feeling I was trying to achieve. (no use of Photoshop … strictly in camera movement and Lightroom exposure adjustments)
