Slow Sync Work Diary

Evaluation

Initially I thought that the shoot was going to be quite hard as the setting up for it was very technical.  Before shooting, I had to make sure that the aperture and exposure was all set up so that the images were the right amount blurred with a certain amount in focus.  It is important to get the balance between the two so that it was an actual slow sync photo and not going back into blur.  After I had set everything up, I actually really enjoyed experimenting with the images and get the subjects to move about more and create more intriguing looking photographs which I think worked really well.



When I took this photo, I thought straight away that it looked really interesting and intriguing.  The way the head is basically disconnected from the body makes it look really eery and spooky looking.  It is almost as though her face has just floated away.  This effect that I managed to capture has made for a really effective overall image.  I like the fact that there is also a continuous trail from the main subject to the head that is supposedly floating.




I also thought that the way that this photo turned out was also really effective.  It looks as though some form of spirit or ghost is floating out of her.  The way that this has turned out with the main focus being on the right hand side makes it seem very ghostly which I think is one of the main ideas being slow sync. 




Idea Development

If I was to attempt this type of shoot again, I would definitely do a lot more experimentation if I had more time.  Using this technique, I think that I would be able to get some really interesting photos and I think that I could link it in with my personal project through taking lots of the same type of image and then linking them all together.
