Fast entry..great abstract!
Kinetic - Photography Contest [28 entries]
Contest goal:
Wiki: Kinetic photography (kinetic meaning "caused by motion") is an experimental photographic technique in which the photographer uses movement resulting from physics to create an image. This typically involves the artist not directly holding the camera, but allowing the camera to react to forces applied to it in order to make a photograph. This can include, but is not limited to; holding and shaking the wrist strap of the camera while taking a picture, dropping the camera off of objects while taking a picture, throwing or spinning the camera up in the air while taking a picture (called a camera toss), or rigorously moving the camera while taking a picture, etc. As the photographer has surrendered control over the camera to physical forces, this technique tends to produce abstract, random or blurred-motion photographs.
Your job: use this technique in this contest. Here are some examples to get you started:
- Example 1
- Example 2
- Example 3
Required level: 15+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

karaflazz: An other great theme ( 5 years and 3266 days ago )
kyricom: So all the examples have to do with light. Can't it be done without that? ( 5 years and 3266 days ago )
MnMCarta: Well I've seen ghost people created from this method so I would say yes but I guess its for a mod to clarify. ( 5 years and 3266 days ago )
MnMCarta: I keep reading the instructions and I can honestly say I am NOT dropping my camera... I didn't buy it nor could I afford another one and it's not even top of the line but I will do my best to think of something cause this sounds fun.

( 5 years and 3265 days ago ) jawshoewhah: I'm not crazy about taking a picture and tossing my camera in the air either, but I think I can come up with something. The examples have given me ideas. Great suggestion! ( 5 years and 3265 days ago )
( 5 years and 3265 days ago ) robvdn: Hope you all can come up with something great, I had something in mind but can't enter with my level...

( 5 years and 3265 days ago ) EmiK: I have never even heard of this before, great suggestion, and guys you can always use the camera strap to hang on to it as you toss it, at least I hope that will work. Sorry in advance if it doesn't. =) ( 5 years and 3265 days ago )
MnMCarta: LOL I'm dieing after reading Emik's response cause I can see it now.... "ok here I got... I'm throwing my camera in the air holding the strap....!!!! CRAP! The strap BROKE!" lmao! Well maybe the chip handled the fall! hehehe I'm gonna be tryin some things with this contest OH YEA!!! ( 5 years and 3265 days ago )
I'm gonna be tryin some things with this contest OH YEA!!! ( 5 years and 3265 days ago ) jawshoewhah: What if we say, instead of tossing the camera in the air, put the camera on a disco ball motor or a turntable? Or any kind of robotics that slowly move the camera in some kind of slow motion. Would that be kinetics? ( 5 years and 3261 days ago )
Lodd: Is rear-synced flashes allowed btw? ( 5 years and 3261 days ago )
jawshoewhah: could a mod please clarify on my question? Thanks ( 5 years and 3260 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Is the mod on this contest sick or on vacation or something? I am going to assume as long as I was moving my camera during exposure, it's on theme and not just tossed into the air. ( 5 years and 3259 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Sorry Josh....yes...as long as the image is caused by camera movement it's on topic....how you "move" the camera is up to you... ( 5 years and 3259 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Lodd...using rear sync with a long shutterspeed to allow camera movement before the flash should fire should be on topic as long as there is camera movement evident and not just subject movement... ( 5 years and 3258 days ago )
MnMCarta: um... can someone email me and explain to me about this whole "long exposure and the flash goes off last" stuff... that one picture that someone questioned because the person was in focus and the lights were moved is where I read it but I just don't get it. Can I do it with my camera? Seems there could be some pretty interesting shots like that. ( 5 years and 3256 days ago )

Super, looks like they are metalic rods of some kind.
nice!
This is a badazz pic but how did you do it?
Actually....I staged an LED light with a filter and twisted the camera strap so the camera would spin in a circle...while slowly lowering the camera....this was the result....thank you!
Stunning, thanks for the explanation, which is really interesting
Beautiful line & colours..
