Twisted | Landscape Photography



Thought this was cool. Was trying any new technique while shooting something for Guy Tal's creativity competition and came across this. It's the Spirit Tree (in the badlands) with a twist, literally. I held the zoom ring and twisted the body of my camera while pressing the shutter. Shooting at about 1/40th of a second gave a nice swirl and even with movement this works just about every time. When I look at this shot now I think it looks like a bird.
