Trying something different

September 28, 2014 · by Photography By Steve daPonte · in Nature Photography, Photography Tips & Tricks. ·

I have been reading Bryan Peterson’s Exposure Solutions and in it there is a section “How to Add Energy with Simple Zooming”.

This is done by zooming while shooting a long exposure. So in the photo below I used a variable 2-8 Stop ND filter on my 28-300mm zoom, with the camera in Manual Mode set at f22, zoomed the lens to 300mm, locked focus on the flower and pressed the shutter button counted to 1 and zoomed out to 28mm.

I think it came out pretty cool no photoshop required photo as captured in camera.

Nice. It is fun to do this type of photography. I’ve been trying this with the long exposures of movie marques at night.

It’s very effective! I’ve done this with some music photography before as the play of light is always quite magical 🙂
