Assignment 15: Motion Blur -- Congratulations Sean Setters

[Dan Fleming]

I think freelanceshots, our winner from Assignment 14, has said it best, so here are his words:





I was thinking of a contest where the submitted images would need to have some part of the image with motion blur and another part of the image in sharp focus. The way for people to do this is to use a slower shutter speed fast enough to capture the subject but blur other objects moving faster. Another example is using a tripod with really low shutter speeds but capture unmovable objects as still images. Another technique is to pan with an object and blur everything else not moving with the subject. Another example could be painting with light where you use a slow shutter and a flash on the second curtain and move a light source around to create text or shapes or even more.


Here is an example from my Flickr:

The Finalists





Sorry about this! Apparently lists of people were sent to me, and my email never delivered. Here are the finalists, poll is below

the child in the swing is really good because the background is so silky smooth and the child is in pretty good focus. Just overall very pleasing. Hopefully not heavily enhanced with the aid of the computer

Sean Setters


Because it took effort above and beyond to get this shot and I like his color choice in WB to balance the color of the car and the background light plus the lighting setup in the car.

Alex Niedra


Because its just a cool, original image with unique shapes made by the waves. White balance was an interesting choice that added to the image presentation.

Andy Stringer


Because of the precision to capture a wild tiger with a fast enough shutter to capture the head but still blur the body to show movement.

a completely still image would be boring. Could use some contrast and saturation which would make it more eye popping.

Awesome photo, freelanceshots!! Would you mind posting your EXIF data for that example. Usually in flickr that is available but not on this one.


Thanks!

[freelanceshots]

Any fair makes for some interesting photos because of all the lights and action. Can't find the original photo to get the exif data. I believe it was shot with a 30D and maybe the 17-55 IS lens with a tripod. Shutter would have been slow like 1 sec and the f-stop maybe around f/8 with a low ISO.

This was after the 4th of July fireworks display. I was stuck on top of a parking garage with traffic backed up trying to leave so I decide to take some pics of the downtown area.

Canon Xsi, 18-55mm lens @ 20mm, f/10, 1/40 sec. ISO 100


In retrospect the f/10 was a bad idea, but this was one of the first times I used panning.

[alexniedra]

In retrospect the f/10 was a bad idea, but this was one of the first times I used panning.


Why do you say that? f/10 allowed you to use a pretty slow shutter speed (that provided a nice effect) at your lowest possible ISO setting. Any wider an aperture would have caused you to have to use a faster shutter speed - If this is what you wanted, ignore my post. In my opinion 1/40 sec. works nicely for your shot. Also, f/10 (on the Xsi) shouldn't affect your image quality due to diffraction.

This is my first post, but I've been a regular visitor to this site for a while and have learned a lot from everyone here.I think the assignments are a great idea and the current assignment has tempted me to join the community and share this picture of a lioness in the Masai Mara, Kenya, taken last September. I wanted to see how slow I could go with the shutter and still keep her eye sharp.

**Small update**


Yesterday I contacted Freelanceshots about this and he already send me his list of favorites, so in theory we're good to go.


Unfortunately I had no time left to mail Dan Fleming, so I will do that now. Hopefully we'll hear back from him as soon as possible and hopefully he can make the poll himself.


Since the time-difference is present (it's almost 9 in the morning here and my college is about to start ;) ) it might take some time before the poll is online. Please be patient.


If Dan shouldn't be able to adjust the assignment for what reason possible, I will contact any of the other admins to do so. (starting with David [A])


Hopefully this update is of some use. You'll all be updated as soon as I know more.

Congratulations to the 5 finalists! May the best one win! [Y]

Because of the precision to capture a wild tiger with a fast enough shutter to capture the head but still blur the body to show movement. A completely still image would be boring. Could use some contrast and saturation which would make it more eye popping.



I'm flattered that the judges included my shot, which was my first ever post here at TDP. Just to clarify, though, I have never seen a tiger in the wild. My subject was a lioness.

Thanks for the comments on contrast and saturation, Dan. The photography "expert" on the safari hated any sort of post-processing, and I was ridiculed at the time for saying that I sometimes increase saturation, so I left the image alone apart from a crop. Maybe the lesson here is to trust my own instincts. Just remember, folks, you're voting for the motion blur not the post processing!

Congratulations to the other finalists too, they are all excellent shots in different ways. It's great to see the different interpretations of the theme.

I too am flattered to have a shot selected as a finalist. The shot of the boy (my son) in the swing has no PP other than a curves adjustment. The almost impressionistic blurred background, I believe, is the result of shooting at 17mm from such close range to the subject. I was not expecting such a cool effect when I took the shot.


Congrats to the other finalists too. Fun assignment.

I'm sure the assignment will still be open when you get it back. In the meantime, consider it a great chance to work on your pre-visualization skills. [;)]

I remember sending my 5D Mark II in for warranty work, somthing internal had broken. I lasted 4 days before I broke down and bought a back up copy 5D Mark II I just couldn't be without.


Will you be able to make it Denise. Or have you already got the 5D Mark II in your basket at B&amp;H?

Would it be wrong of us to start taking bets? I'd put the over/under at 5 days. [:P]

Nah, surely its not wrong. After all if it were us we would be in the same shape. You have to figure if she works this week it will help keep withdrawls at bay. As the weekend gets close not having a camera in hand will cause the shakes to start. I would take7 days, breaking down and ordering it sometime this comingweekend. I would havetaken 6 days, but B&amp;H doesn't take orders on Saturday.

HA! HA! HA!


The 135L tapped me out for quite awhile so nope, no 5d mk II in my near future! [:(] Instead I have a lens that doesn't focus worth a darn! [:'(]

One thing I did do though ...this morning the sun was shining, the birds were singing so I ripped open a very well sealed box, took my 7d back out &amp; thru on my 100-400mm &amp; went outside to take photos ...&amp; all the birds flew away! [:(]

I better get to the UPS store quick &amp; then come home and re-new my appreciation for my Canon P&amp;S!

Denise

[Sheiky]

Official congratulations Sean!! [:D]

Believe, no-one here sees the diference between an Iphone photo or a DSLR photo. You might even benefit from the small sensor [;)]


I hope it works out for you within two weeks, because that's about the time you get for the new assignment [H]

Congratulations to Sean Setters, I hear that there is already a new assignment ready to go courtesy of Sean and Jan!
