Prom Party Experiment

[Gazza166]

Having got all the shots I needed I thought I would have a little play. I put my camera into aperture mode with flash on ettl and a little random camera movement and these were the results. Some people have really liked them, more so converted to B&W. I guess it could be a bit like marmite, love it or hate it!

Yeah . . , different, second one looks like an X10 in "Orb" mode

Not sure about them TBH Gary.
For me personally I don't think the B&W is helping them at all. I'd be interested to see what they look like in colour before making my mind up on whether I like the effect or not.

Sorry but with all the colour of a prom why B+W? not sure i like them will await to see the colour one if they are put up.

Not trying to reinvent the wheel here, we've all seen a lot of bright colourful prom pics, just put a different spin on to see how it's received (so far, badly!) I was about to bin the colour versions and thought I would give the B&W a spin. I quite liked the mono look in these but fully understand your view and appreciate you taking the time to comment, my wife always says to me some of the stuff I want to try is weird. I should write a book, could be a best seller!

I like Marmite - so I like these - see where you are comming from with the treatment

I honestly think colour versions of these would induce seizures lol
Whereas black and white your just getting tone which is perceived as form and not light. I love the first one but cannot help that a tripod may help to fix in place what isn't moving? Different take on the norm though

The second one works for me, but the others I'm sorry but you've just gone far to far with the long exposure/camera movement
