LOVE these slow shutter speed photographs

Husband sent me an amazing link the other day. Gizmodo held a shooting challenge the other week to create an image using slow shutter speed. Usually what you think of when hearing slow shutter speed is a bunch of car light trails or some people jumping around with LED’s… but some of the entries in the challenge are so much more. I’m posting my favourites below.

First place is most definitely warranted:
Smoke Signal was taken with an Olympus sp350 set to night scene. This was taken with a color changing led rave light about six inches long by 1/2 inch wide that I wrapped with electrical tape to create a candy cane stripe. I placed the light on my record turn table at a slow RPM and swiped the camera vertically to create the spinning stripe -Brad Bogle

Here is a photo I took for the contest. I kept seeing this guy on the streets of Hong Kong and he would beg by praying. I noticed that many did not stop so I decided to represent the opposing worlds using the slow shutter :-) Nikon D300; Nikon 18-200VR Lens; ISO 250; F22@1/3 sec 18mm -Preston Janssen

Nikon D300 with the shutter speed dialed WAAAAY down in my backyard past midnight using a maglitemini with the top taken off so it was just the raw bulb -Daniel Schaefer

It takes realized with a Nikon D300, lens Sigma 18-250, takes at low speed with a leds lantern. ISO: 100; 18 mm; f: 8; v: 30' -Diego Haristoy

Check out the other great entries in Gizmodo’s Slow Shutter Photo Challenge Gallery.

Let me know which is your favourite!

Hello!

I'm Mikaela, 27, married to a spunk, muma to a bubba boy, and busy (mostly by choice, I suck at relaxing). I love life and have too many ideas in my head, and wish there were more hours in the day (I'm sure old people always said that when I was growing up). I live in and love Canberra, Australia (2 hours to beach or snow, what more could you ask for?). I'm a freelance designer, high school & uni teacher, and I'm working towards my dream house one DIY at a time, along with numerous other side-ventures... For more about me, go to the about page =)
