Blurred motion
Whirling Merry-go-round
Everyone in my ground was getting this same merry-go-round. I thought I would come at it from a different angle so that I could see the fence as well. Since the shot needed the shutter to stay open the fence came in very bright. I decreased the lighting on the picture so that the fence did not take away too much from the merry-go-round itself.
Ghost in the hall
With a long enough shutter speed, the subject can stay in one place for a few seconds and then move out without having the image totally blur. It creates an opacity without any editing. She comes out looking like a ghost. Eery!
Frozen action
Ghost’s hat
It’s called a ghost town because of the resident ghosts. Apparently one was tipping his hat to us as you see in this picture. No fishing line was used in this picture. Just a fast shutter speed. My hat got a little bent from being thrown in the air and falling to the ground.
The same scene, but opposite shallow focus points <!--more-->
Further focus
This shot makes the tip of the skull out of focus. The spot right in front of the eyes are in focus, but that is it.
Very close focus
The tip of the skull only is in focus. Everything past the opening for the nose is out of focus. All it took was changing where the focus was.
