These and the rest of my daisy posts this week are straight from the camera – no post processing edits aside from some minor cropping on a couple. I had fun playing around with shutter speeds to over- or under-expose the photos, using the natural bright light coming in from a large window to assist me in creating various effects with my camera that I would normally achieve with photo editing software.

I slowed down the shutter speed on the shots below which over-exposed the them, and since I was holding the camera and not using a tripod there was some camera shake which cause the blurring. I think it gives the photos an impressionistic, oil-painted look. What do you think?

All photos:
f/2.8
Exposure time 1/4-1/5s
ISO-100

      Thanks. Great challenge and they would be perfect. Looks like I just missed the deadline though.

        I would just post your link on the challenge page anyway. It doesn’t look like there was a lot of players, so maybe it’s ok? Either way, it’s perfect so submit!

    Yes, I like the blur, especially since there are parts of the center that are crisp and seem all the more textural because of that contract.

    i shoot alot of hand held close ups and mostly keep the camera set on aperture priority and use the exposure control to under expose as i prefer a more saturated look. but i think you did well at what you wanted to do. they have a soft feel to them.
