Fall Spin

I was going through another photoblog a couple days after taking this photo and came across an identical technique, so before people start pointing fingers, I’d like to say that when I took this shot, I thought I was being original.

PS: Slowmotionlandscape. Check it out.

So spill the beans already — how’d you do it? :)

Yes Adam, how did you do that? A PS effect?

Looks like the camera has been spun around using a long shuttertime.

Nice effect.

Nikke is right. The problem with this technique is that it can be pretty hit’n'miss a lot of the time, much like the out of camera zoom effects. Radial blur / zoom filters in PS can replicate it very well and will greater consistency. That said, it more fun to play with the camera ;)

Now this photo is more like it! So cool. Good work, Adam.

Yep, Nikke is right, althought I wouldn’t exactly call it a long shuttertime. I was looking into the sky, so it had to be short enough to avoid overexposure, but long enough to actually get the spin effect. This particular shot was taken with a 1/10 shutter speed.

hey, are you still using the PowerShot G3 for these shots? You’ve inspired me to look on eBay for some G4s, but if you’re getting quality like this from a G3, fuhgettaboutit!

Adam Polselli on Nov 10th 04

Yup, still using the G3! The only real advances that you see in digital cameras lately is more pixels and faster processing within the camera. So, especially between a G3 and G4, you probably won’t see much difference.

I thought there was no such thing as a G4. Just the G2, G3, G5, G6. :(
