Jake - Recipe 5



For my picture for topic 5, I got to experiment with panoramas and slow shutter photography, which is something that I don't do normally. I usually just open up my iPhone camera and snap pictures, but for these, they took longer and a little more planning. And, the slow shutter required that I do it at night, which limited my time with it.

I have messed around with slow shutter photography before, but not on a phone. It took a little bit of research to find an app that did it, but eventually I found "Top Camera". It was very easy to work with, and did exactly what I needed. It cost $2.99 which isn't too bad, either.

After purchasing it, I went out with a couple of my friends and had them walk around and we messed with the slow shutter feature. The result of my pic of the week was done by my friend walking across the street when the light was green for him, causing the cars that faced him to light him with their headlights. That's why we get the result of his head in his walking pattern.

While messing around with panoramas, I turned my phone sideways for them to be a vertical picture rather than a landscape view, which I tried to avoid.

The pic of the week required to touch ups, I just posted it and it was one of my favorites, too.
