Take That, Evil Zerg!

Uploaded: January 15, 2005

Description

I wanted to play with motion here. A slow shutter speed made Sasha's toy Buzz Lightyear look like it was projecting a circle of energy - just as Sasha imagined. In reality, the toy he is holding is made up of three colored beads that spin around.

At faster speeds, you can see the individual lights. But at a slow speed, you have these perfect energy circles - watch out bad guys!

This was handheld, so I couldn't go any slower without getting too much blur on his face.

Taken at 1/8

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
