Blog 3 Light-Motion: Freeze and Blur

Freezing Motion

With this I decided I wanted to be creative with paint and food. The balloon filled with paint was a process but once I figured out how to pop the balloons, it was a blast. I had about 12 balloons and so each second I pressed my cameras button, mattered. I then went in to Photoshop and just made the contrast pop. With the waffle and syrup, all it took was some food placement and a willing husband to pour the syrup, the snap. All done.

Motion- Blur

While it was snowing all weekend, I decided I wanted to do blurred motion with things in my house. The first one I wanted to do was my record player. I just had It playing while I slowed down my shutter speed and snapped away. The book shot took a lot of practice but after having my husband hold a fan to it for countless hours, I was able to get some blurred pages. Withe the two record pictures I added a HDR effect in Photoshop and I brightened each one. I also added some contrast into the pictures.
