Photos [Photo] Boredom

Got bored and wondered out this afternoon, only two of the shots where decent enough though.
The first was with a 1/4second shutter speed and tilting the camera (ala photography magazine tutorial this month).
The second was just playing around with dof on my camera.

 

19:50 <+ajack> aye that first one is pretty cool actually

 

Nath thought i should try the second shot in b&w. This is my first time playing with hue saturation etc but i think it looks good.

 

The first shot's very nice, as ajack says, almost like a painting. The second looks a little out of focus on the front post, which is more noticeable in the black and white conversion, but sharpened up a bit that would look good too.

 

i do like the 1st shot quite a lot. the choice of scene lends to the technique rather well. good job.

(btw, it's spelled 'boredom', unless you were making a play on words?)

 

the first shot works really well.

what's this tilting technique? just rotating the camera vertically during the exposure?

 

Updated the second on b&w sharpening it up.

The tilt 'technique' is just long exposure and tilt the camera up. I had a small small pause at the start before tilt up so there would be a section of ground pretty constant while all the long trees are blurred straight up.
