The challenge this week, out of focus, had so many possibilities and interpretations. Since I love abstract photography, I decided to try panning of ordinary objects in our townhouse to create a blurred abstract appearance. I used a technique called “panning,” which entails deliberately moving the camera while you take your shot. This requires a long shutter speed, such as 1/4 – 1/10 of a second. Too short of a shutter speed would prevent you from catching the movement of the camera during the shot. Here are a few shots from today:
