Creative Flowers - Part 6

The next technique we are discussing is great for adding a painterly look to your images, and it can be used with just about any type of nature or landscape, not just flowers. The idea is to use a slow shutter speed to create a small amount of blur. There are two ways to do this. 
  • One is when your subject is moving due to a windy day, such as tall grass blowing. For this if you want anything to be sharp you will want to use a tripod. If you are looking to blur the entire image than a tripod is not necessary. 
  • Two is to use intentional camera movement to blur the image. You can pan up or down, left or right, or even rotate or swirl. It's best to pick a movement that fits best with the subject. For instance for a patch of flowers I would probably rotate my camera, but for a forest scene with trees I would pan up or down. 
This is another fun technique to play with and see all the different results you can get!

Try this effect on fall color. This is a tree in my yard that I photographed on a windy day when it was at peak color.
