movement ... tripod!

[van8muslim]

hello fellows,

today I bought my first tripod (finally, horray!!) and tried to experiment with it a little ... I set the cam in a dark area to trick it in adjusting to longer shutter speed for my plan to work, then I played the rule because it's the first time for me to be the subject of my own image (I must say I love my tripod for letting me to do that) ... Anyway, I want to know if there are any suggestions you have for me to improve in this kind of photography, and how to make an image like this become better than that.

EDIT: I forgot to say that my Sony dsc-t100 doesn't let me control shutter speed and aperture manually, so I also would appreciate general tips for how to better trick it in F stop and shutter speed changes.

Setting up in a dark area like you did is probably the best solution. You may find that using the macro mode will also keep the shutter open longer.

I think you have an interesting result here and it might be worth exploiting this set up to create a series. Use different clothes and backgrounds for each one and you could then call it something like "We all fall down".

Nice effect. I concur with Wulf...for example, try solid, black background with vibrant coloured clothing. Choreograph your own cirque de solei of motion. Good work! Thanks for sharing. Invest in some used purple tights for a costume...just kidding.

Congratulation for owning a tripod....Really like the idea of movement. it shows what we can do in 1 sec..(your shutter speed is 1 sec)

I didn't think about the macro mode so I'll start doing it, the idea of vibrant colored clothes is also great. I'll work on this set from this moment ... Thanks guys
