Blurred Action

Here is another set of photos for my photography course Photography Basics and Beyond: From Smartphone to DSLR Specialization.

The task was to “share a single photograph that reveals a new content in your world that results from blurring a moment in time as evidenced by movement of things in front of the camera, or movement of the camera, or both!”

I attached my camera to a tripod and stuck it behind the towel rack. One of the cool things about the FUJIFILM TX30ii is that you can control it from your phone. You can see what the camera sees and adjust the settings right in the app. So I had my phone in front of me and didn’t need to touch the camera anymore.

In the first set I left the bathroom light on and set the camera to aperture priority, F22, ISO80. This resulted in a shutter speed of about 8 seconds.

In the second set I turned off the bathroom light and used a flashlight as the only lighting. I left the camera settings the same, this resulted in a shutter speed of about 30 seconds.
