P52: Week 51 — Intentional Camera Movement

This week’s challenge was a revisit of an earlier theme, slow shutter speed, but this time, we were challenged to try Intentional Camera Movement. From Wikipedia, “In intentional camera movement (ICM), a camera is moved during the exposure for a creative or artistic effect. This causes the image points to move across the recording medium, producing an apparent streaking in the resulting image.”

My shot this week focuses on an ornament on our Christmas tree, and then, with my camera on a tripod and a slow shutter speed, I zoomed out from 70mm to 24mm over 10 seconds. I also added a bit more radial blur in Photoshop, just to heighten the effect.
