some interesting shots I just took

[vash (Ashley)]

well We just had a bit of a storm hit here and for a while I've been trying to capture this shot I have in my head while I failed to achieve it I did in the process get some shots that I never thought I'd be able to do with my camera.

the First is the shot that I failed to get the desired effect, though very close it wasn't windy or cloudy enough but you get the idea, it is of a 1 second exposure of a tree in wind, (was hoping for a waterfall effect while having the most of the objects nice and still.)

the others I thought I might try and muck around with some really quick exposures and to my surprise most of them turned out ok, My favorite is the last one. Captured with a the 350D and stock lens Iso 1800, F 4.5 and 4000/sec exposure.

Good stuff Vash.

The effect you are trying to achieve might be gotten for you through HDR processing a series of images taken at varying intervals. Take a few shots at reasonably slow exposure - going through to faster exposures over say, half a dozen images. Combine these in HDR to get your flowing effect.

Thought of that, the only problem is with the tree branches and trunk tend to move in between exposures and then the tree doesn't quite look the way I want it, mind you it's all a matter of the elements aligning in that 1 shot, chances of that are fairly slim, just have to keep trying till I capture it right,

Yep Pretty cool shots, I like the second one the best, well done.

vash i love the effect you're going for, palm trees look quite nice when with the flowing ghost like effect of moving branches in long exposures, also try early morning or late afternoon for the breeze and being able to get longer exposures
