Circular motion, handheld.
There are so many ways to use a slow shutter speed for creative effects. Today I set up a white piece of foamcore behind some flowers held by a plamp.
Up and down, texture overlay
Then I moved the camera handheld up, down, around… all different motions.
You get all different effects. Since I enjoy creating greeting cards, I did some where I had plenty of white space too.
I also put the camera on a tripod and moved the flower with my hand in some of the images. Generally I’m shooting at 100 ISO with 1/3 second and f/8. My lighting was from an overhead tungsten bulb and two softboxes’ modeling lights… no flash.

Sue,
Thank for your note…. wishing you a wonderful and creative 2016!
The possibilities are endless with this technique and nice surprises from the experimenting. Try different backgrounds too. I like using the white so I can add overlays afterwards much of the time.
