Quick Fun with Exposure Times

April 13, 2006 – 12:08 am

Both photos are of champagne bottles stacked high in a warehouse. The first photo was from a 1/3 second exposure (low light). I like the circular symmetry. When viewing this photo at full res, I can see myself in the reflection at the bottom of the bottle.

The second photo was a 1 second exposure, zooming out as the timer ran down. The action of zooming out mid-exposure causes a time-warp effect. If I had used a tripod, there would be less shake. Alas, this photo suffers from caffeine jitters.
