Stop Motion Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I stopped at a children’s playground where I saw some kids playing.

I wanted to “shoot” with a fairly long shutter time 1/10 sec. to get their motion in the picture. It was a bit complicated without my tripod. But then I remembered a technique a friend of mine once told me: “Do like a sharpshooter, control your breath and pull the trigger when exhaling.”

I think the technique worked for me. I also sat on the ground and supported my elbows on my knees.

PP: Crop, USM, B/W filter and 10+ contrast.

Sharpshooter huh? And combined with the brewskies from yesterday you must be pretty dangerous ;o) However I agree this is really good considering you didn't use a tripod, I think the shuttertime might have been a bit too long, I would like to se abit more details on the kids swinging. Anyway good work...
