Fan Blur

Fan Blur

Uploaded: May 14, 2014

Description

This illustrates the blur effect of a slow shutter speed. I used a tripod. The fan movement was from my spinning by hand; the fan was not going fast. The blur is from the slow shutter speed, not from a fast fan speed. The subject matter is boring, but I tried other slow shutter speed shots without success (e.g., leaves blowing in the wind). I shot this before leaving on a business trip. I realize now I cut off the fan's handle and I should have adjusted white balance, but I can't reshoot.

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 4/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 39.00 mm, Model: PENTAX K-5 II s

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.
