Smokey Mountains – How did I do this? I took this image of the forest in the Smokey Mountains National Park while teaching a Mentor Series trek over the weekend. The image is not manipulated! I took it with my Nikon D4, handheld, and used a slow exposure of 1 second. During the exposure I slowly tilted the camera upwards. If you like to take an image like this, you would need to take several images in order to get a variety of different effects. I have posted different photos below with different movements. https://phototours.us
Forest scene: during the exposure I started to move the camera after the shutter opened. This way I got some leaves not too blurry.
Nikon D4, Lens: 24-70mm f/2.8G, Focal Length: 31mm, Aperture: f/16, Shutter Speed: 1s, Exposure Comp.: -0.3EV
In this scene I started moving the camera before I released the shutter.
