Day 73: Purposely Blurred

While on a photography website, I saw this interesting technique that another photographer used and it really intrigued me, so I decided to try it. Basically you gently move the camera while taking the photo to create just enough blur to make it look abstract-like a painting. For the camera settings, you close your aperture as much as possible and then slow down your shutter so that it stays open for a good amount of time (closing the aperture lets in less light since the slow shutter is open longer to allow the movement to be caught). It didn't come out too bad, considering I was at work and quickly experimented with the technique. My photographic version of a Monet work of art! Haha!
