Movement: The Camera.
In both of these images the camera was moved during exposure. One was completely accidental, the other was created completely on purpose.
Can you tell which was created on purpose, and which was the “accidental art”?
Movement: The Subject, part 1
Generally, when I think of movement in one of my photographs I think water. I am a fan of the soft and silky look that a long exposure gives moving water.
Here are a few examples.
Movement: The Subject, part 2
Next I think of wildlife. It would be nice if they just sat still and posed for the camera, but they don’t always cooperate.
there’s one in every group portrait that won’t sit still
this beaver thought searching for dinner was more important than having its picture taken.

Wow…awesome movement…and a kaleidoscope of colors.
Thank you! But can you tell me which was an accident and which was on purpose? 😉
Nope. Couldn’t say that I can.
Stay tuned, the truth shall be revealed…
All stunning!
Hmmm, “stunning,” I like the sound of that, thanks!!
😀
Yes… it was quite windy on my pic.
I like your first two fotos best, and although the first seems more accidental, because it appears to have been shot from a moving vehicle, it’ll probably be the second 🙂
Thank you! After a few more guesses I’ll reveal the truth to all 😀
Very nice Jeff. Long exposures of water are a favorite of mine too, (left to other photographers usually because I lack the self discipline to stand there!) 🙂
That’s what tripods and remote releases are for 😉
I completely agree with you on the slow shutter speed on moving water. One of the loveliest things that a camera can do. Both the water shots are amazing.
Thanks Irfan. One thing I’m always surprised at is the number of people that think the silky look to the water in an image like these is created in post. They automatically assume “Photoshopped.”
Normally such people are not acutally aware of post processing, or are just new to using DSLR’s. As Dr. Alban told in one of his ever green numbers, “little knowledge is dangerous”
fabulous and always great entires.
Why thank you, you are ever too kind 🙂
Gorgeous photos! The first two remind me of my tour of the Blue Ridge Parkway at peak fall foliage color. : )
You have captured a fabulous group of shots showing movement. These are all wonderful! (and I love that you tagged the beaver’s tail!)
Thanks. I thought is was really cool that the beaver didn’t seem to mind me hanging around. It would go down to get a snack and then come right back and eat right in front of me. I was able get a few nice shots of the whole animal too, not just the tail.
To me it looks like the first one is the accident: shooting out the car window with the settings a bit wrong…?
Great techniques. Is the 2nd one from zooming out on longer exposure? It looks like a snowburst!
You are correct Brandon. Though I can’t remember if I zoomed in or out, I was trying both.
The other one was the “accident”. I hit the shutter button as I move my tripod. I’ve always liked it, but never knew what to do with it.
Was the first one an accidental art? 😀
You are correct! I accidentally hit the shutter button while moving my tripod. I’ve always liked the way it came out, so I kept it. 😀
😀 awww, the painter in you 🙂
