Concentration

The juxtaposition of water in motion and still objects is an image captured through the different shutter speed settings of a camera. My photos demonstrate this concept through a variety of perspectives, split up into different subcategories of color and exposure. Photographing the motion of water opens up a new realm of images spectacularly captured by a functional camera: Things that are unable to be seen by the human eye. Dark. Light. In Motion. Still.

My photos demonstrate my idea of water in motion through contrasting long shutter speeds. Whether it’s from an up-close perspective or wide shot, the overall idea is to get this silky-smooth theme throughout all of the photos in order to demonstrate this image of water in comparison to still objects. In addition, I added photos with grayscale, different colors, and distinct perspectives. For example, image number one from my concentration was taken with a zoom lens using a tripod, neutral density filter, and camera settings of the following: shutter speed at 2 seconds, ISO at 1600, and aperture at f28. In contrast, image number 6 was taken with a basic 18-58mm lens with the same camera settings. In order to receive an image that isn’t affected by the neutral density filter and the camera settings, the image quality was on RAW for a result of easy editing in lightroom. Images 3, 4, 5, and 10 focus on the blue color of water in images taken with a long shutter speed while, on other hand, images 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 are photographs of water with a whitish color. Lastly, image 9 is a supreme example of the juxtaposition between a still rock and water in motion with a tint of clear and blue water in affiliation. Ultimately, My experimentation with shutter speed resulted in images varying from different perspectives and colors.
