52 Photo Challenge: Week 35-Handheld Long Exposure

“The night is falling down around us. Meteors rain like fireworks, quick rips in the seam of the dark… Every second, another streak of silver glows: parentheses, exclamation points, commas – a whole grammar made of light, for words too hard to speak.”—Jodi Picoult

This week my assignment for the 52 photo challenge was to experiment with handheld long exposure. While this is similar to motion blur, instead of trying to capture movement you are trying to create it. I really had fun playing with purposeful movement and light.

These photos were taken either overlooking the city from my neighborhood park or in the local casino parking lot. The shots of my daughter are used with her permission and my gratitude. She’s such a wonderful supporter of me and always up for a drive.

I hope you like these very different kind of shots. I’ve also included two bonus photos of the supermoon. Let me know if you have a favorite photo and have a fantastic week.

  16. Really way cool. I would use several for canvas enlargements to decorate my home. I especially like the heading photo and #’s 5, 6, 8, and 10. Just personal preference, not that the others aren’t good. Of course, starting with a Jodi Picoult quote nabbed me right away!
