I've just put a new picture called "Gold Leaf" in my Motion Emotion gallery. It's a piece that I created using camera movement and flash to give both blurred and sharp parts to the picture. The leaves have a great sheen to them and seem to nestle in the gold mist created by the movement. Go to the gallery here

Tomorrow I'm taking advantage of Olympus' Test and Wow scheme and getting an OMD EM1 and 12-40mm lens for a couple of days. In really keen to see how the live bulb function works for my motion blur photographs. This function gives you an update on the screen of how long exposures are building every half a second or so. You can Program the update interval depending on the overall length of exposure. I'm thinking it could be very useful as I will know have feedback of my movements albeit only every half second. At the moment I have no feedback so even 8 updated in a second exposure should give me quite a lot of information. Hopefully it may also lead to some creative inspiration that would not have been possible without it. I'll report back when I've had a chance to digest my findings

I've posted some new images on Behance. The project is called "Rotations" and features images created by camera rotation. Here's the link  http://bit.ly/1uwdSyF It's amazing the textures produced with varying speeds and and by slowing the speed at various points during the rotation. I hope you enjoy!
