This is the winter instalment of my forest impressionist photography project using the panning technique.<\/p>\n

\"Impressionist<\/a>
I discovered this location in the fall and was curious to see what it would look like during the winter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While I\u2019ve been using this approach for some time now, I\u2019m still surprised by the results I get. This luckily means there must be many, many other photography subjects out there for which one can get interesting panning shots.<\/p>\n

\"Impressionist<\/a>
It was one of the few locations deep inside the forest where I managed to get the panning technique to work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From experience, I\u2019ve found that it isn\u2019t a good idea to dismiss something out of hand without giving it a try, because some of the most interesting discoveries I\u2019ve made with impressionist photography techniques were \u2018happy accidents\u2019. So experimentation is essential. On the flip side, that also means one must discard of lot of attempts, but that isn\u2019t too much of a problem with today\u2019s digital technology.<\/p>\n

\"Impressionist<\/a>
I found it earlier to use the panning technique in soft light, and the clear advantage of the winter season in Scotland is that there are many, many cloudy days with even soft light.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the film days, such a project must have cost a fortune. Not only is the cost of taking a picture minimal with digital, the immediate feedback from the display at the back of the camera allows one to adjust from shot to shot, thus enhancing the chance of getting a usable photo. And in spite of this, it does take quite a few takes to get it right.<\/p>\n

\"Impressionist<\/a>
I find vertical shots more challenging when panning the camera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And while I\u2019ve slowly grown to like the muted colours of the winter season, the spring colours now on display make me itch to pursue this personal photo impressionism project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
