Slow Shutter Speed

Many of the more successful images captured at the pier were of its more kinetic elements. There’s a liveliness in the blurring of the light, and the outcomes are really unpredictable. The patterns created by this technique would make great backgrounds for illustrations.

Some of the members of our groups experimented with the use of a slower shutter speed at the pier. Looking at the results today they have produced some very aesthetically pleasing photos. I really love the colour palette in the images above, I am particularly drawn to the pink, blue and yellow combination and fell it has created an image really different to the outcomes we were presented in our briefing. It’s contrasting in how bright and abstract the use of light is and looks almost like a textiles print rather than a photograph.

This would be a great technique to explore further as a group and I may look into using these images as the backgrounds for my final solo exploration.
