Assignment 7: Slow it Down -- Congratulations travischance

[Dan Fleming]

Welcome to Assignment 7: Slow it Down, courtesy of Matt Sartin. The idea here is exposures of 1 second or longer. The image can be anything as long as your shutter was open for one second. This promises to be a cool thread.


I will leave this open till Friday of next week, so just about two weeks.


I am also cutting the judges to one judge, because I had a hard time finding a second, and didn't want it to be me always judging. So judging also courtesy of mattsartin this time.


We have a finalists list! There are 8 selections this time. As usual voting is at the bottom. Congratulations to the 8, but also to all of the pictures, they were really good.


-----------------------------


CONGRATULATIONS travischance on winning this assignment with a very creative shot. All the pictures were excellent, and you can see the runners-up below the poll!

I guess I'll kick this one off for a change! This was at a carnival in my "back yard" the parking lot right behind my apartment. It is one of those centripetal force rides that pin you to the sides as it goes. I used an eye-bolt and 12ft piece of rope tied to it and run under my foot as a makeshift monopod. XTi, 28-105/3.5-4.5 @ 63mm, f/9.0 ISO 100 1sec. (barely qualifies) I was kinda bummed I cut off part of it, but still a neat abstract picture.

very nice!

I haven't done long exposure photography for about a year now, I haven't got the time anymore and it's a real shame because it's highly enjoyeble to do and the resaults are very rewarding, and I think it's my favorite kind of photography. But anyway! Here is an oldie!


Best contest until now! I look forward to the enteries!


Good luck everyone!

I can see you all aren't going to make this judging easy on me! This is my favorite long exposure.

This is my first try on light trails (I'm not sure if this would be similar to shooting fireworks). This was a big truck speeding on the national highway with some cars joining the chase. I got lucky to get the high lights of the truck pass through the lights of the lamp posts.


I'm sure there'll be more great photos on the way. []

I don't often shoot at longer exposures...just can't find the time with a 2 1/2 yr old!!! But here is one I took while working late one evening. The cliffs above Seacliff Flats in Aptos, CA....
