Long Exposure
Did some experiments with the 'Long Exposure' on the roads of Dubai... here are the results- Kodak DX 7590
I am still learning - way to go... a lot to explore...
probably you hear it everyday...but will you mind if i repeat it....for i'm in serious confusion...whether your imagination is more versatile than your photography...but whatever....here's a bow for the givin...
About your blog - i love the concept of using only black and white as a medium, but somehow fail to understand why you used it on bright colours. The first shot has come out amazingly well, the lines are perfect. To each his own, but try the long exposures of traffic in colour...I feel you'll be able to learn how to keep the lines straight faster.
And it's my other blog that's functional - that one got chucked ages back.
And as I said I was experimenting with Long Exposure, primarily I did'nt use a tripod for the straight lines. I did'nt have a wide angle adaptor and it was not my camera ;)
I shot colour - desaturated it later, will send the version to you by mail.
Sarah, Thanx for your comments on my blog. I use a Fuji S20 Pro digital camera, and I feel digital cameras are great for learning photography, nodobut traditional ones are much more better and a pixel can never beat the film grain. But the difference that I feel -
1. Instant results 2. Cost Effective (No more costly films) 3. More scope for experiments
Long exposure settings: One of the main tricks to taking good photos at night with your camera is taking long exposures of a subject. The long exposure time is needed to compensate for the low light; the longer the exposure, the longer your camera absorbs the scarcely available light. Now during these settings, when a bright light is in motion, you get those trails.
While a sunny day with plentiful illumination may only require a camera shutter to remain open for 1/250th or 1/125th of a second for clear, crisp photos, low-light conditions may require decreased shutter speeds of 1/15th of a second or longer.

I am looking for knowledge which needs no teaching but understood. I am looking for art which is not thought of but natural. I am looking out to meet people who would stop acting and just be what they are.

life is divided in to multiple parts, white , black and band between the both. how we view with our gray matter , matters.
the first 2 pics r good , but the last ones r too chaotic though not in a bad way
