Journalism School Skyline

This is an image I made on my way back to my car last night after working in the journalism school library for a couple of hours. I was only parked on the third floor, but decided to go up to the roof (sixth floor) for a different perspective. Next time, I’ll take my tripod and tilt/shift lens. It’s nice to take the occasional break from photojournalism!

Tungsten Zoom Blurs

Elm Street and 9th, Columbia, Mo.

Walking around tonight with an assignment from the J School to photograph with my camera set to tungsten/incandescent, I became fairly bored after a few hours. So, I decided to mess with some zoom blurs!

Generally speaking, zoom blurs work best for me when zooming from wide angle to telephoto. Other people seem to be able to go the other way, but I can’t do it to save my life. More after the jump…

Both of these images were captured with a 24-70 lens, exposed for 1/8 second at ISO 1600, f/8 for the street scene and f/10 for the parking garage. Clearly, I could have lowered the ISO, but these were made on the Canon 5D Mark II, so noise isn’t really a concern at ISO 1600.
