taking a closer look

May 23rd, 2009

Here I’m experimenting with a little creative photography–the zoom burst. Chris was a reluctant subject here, but she’s a pretty good sport about it. I’m not sure what I think about this effect. After a little trial and error, it seems that 1/6s was the ideal exposure length to allow simultaneous zooming. I had to make minor post-processing exposure adjustments to regain some highlights due to the longer exposure at midday.

    Not the most flattering image of Chris…but a cool effect nonetheless. :)

    @karyn: She gave me a good deal of grief about posting the image. Of course, as the love my life, I think Chris flatters any image I can make ;-)
