Interesting effect with a long exposure
Here’s a groovy camera effect I found by accident…
I’m not entirely sure what the most important part is, but it went like this: (1) go to dark place, such as the bar at the Theatre Royal, Stratford; (2) wait for someone like James Gilbert (above) to do their thing; (3) put camera on long exposure (a second or so) and pop up the flash; (4) take photo with flash; (5) while exposure still, er, exposing, move camera around.
I think the really important part is the long exposure and the movement. But the fact that it was a dark place and I used flash probably did a lot to ensure there is only one main subject and not just a lot of blur.
Anyway, it kept me amused all night. Much to my friends’ annoyance.
