Experimental Landscape

slablanc

At dusk the other night we had a great red sky with a nice line of clouds. I experimented a bit with increased exposure times (about 4 seconds) and zooming while the shutter was open. After a bunch of trial and error I got the shot below.



I'd love your opinions

I like this picture a lot. I get a lot of feeling from the image: I get a sense of mystery; it feels a little sinister and a little dangerous; I get a sensation of motion in my body while viewing (probably from the zooming you did). I also enjoy the color palette.

Another fan right here.

I just love when landscapes turn to dreamscapes.

Very cool effect, and a great photo.

I'll definitely have to try it out (both with the zoom and changing the focus which I also think might produce interesting effects with long exposures).

Painterly - in a good way. Has a cool ethereal quality.

Very nice!

I had no idea about that trick with zooming while the shutter is open. Will have to try it soon!

Fascinating dreamscape!

Thanks everyone for looking at the photo and sending me your feedback. I like this technique and am going to try and find other situations in which to use it.
