Artist Statement:

This week in photography we continued exploring several new techniques light painting, motion abstract/blur, and panning. Light painting is where you decrease the shutter speed of the camera and use a handheld light in a dark room. Panning is where you reduce the shutter speed and follow a moving object. Motion abstract/blur is where you decrease the shutter speed and increase the movements of the camera. This week I only had the chance to experiment with only motion abstract/blur. When editing the images, I changed the exposure and color settings. I increased/decreased the highlights, contrast, shadows, brightness,  temperature, tint, saturation, vibrancy, and fade of the picture. At the end of the week, I developed four of my best photos that revolved around the motion abstract/blur category. The results turned to be very exciting and interesting. I believe that I have gotten better at this new technique and hoped to keep improving throughout the semester.
