In my previous posts \u201cImpressionist Photography\u201d<\/a> and “Impressionist Photography: Spring Forest Pans\u201d<\/a>, I showed pictures obtained by moving the camera up or down during a long exposure. The camera movement removes a lot of the sharp details in the photograph and one is left with an impression of the scene.<\/p>\n

\"Rotating<\/a>
I used the technique on this group of flowers in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, to produce an abstract twirl of colours.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this post I show you some pictures obtained by rotating the camera and zooming during the exposure. This produces abstract impressionist pictures, in that the subject is typically longer recognisable. I learned this technique from Bryan F Peterson<\/a>, but I later found out that Freeman Patterson<\/a> had been using it too, so I have no idea who first came up with the idea. By experimenting with the technique, I found it works well with a multicoloured subject.<\/p>\n

\"Edinburgh<\/a>
The Edinburgh Floral Clock in Princes Street Gardens has been photographed many, many times. So I thought I would try something different.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
