Fall Impressions

These Aspen tree abstracts were created by moving my camera during the exposure.

Fall Approaching

An upcoming road trip to Colorado has me thinking about shaking my camera at fall color again. Can’t wait! Here’s an example taken last year at Sedona’s West Fork Trail.

Aspens

I have so many traditional shots of fall color that all I did last year was shake and swing my camera at it. This is what Aspens can look like when you intentional move your camera during exposure. If you’ve never tried this, be prepared for lots of misses but with practice, you can predict the effect you’ll achieve with any given movement. I’ve been hooked on this fun since 2003 when I heard Jack Davis talk about sticking his point and shoot camera out of his car window as he was driving. I was mesmerized by his results and couldn’t wait to try it 🙂
