So I found out about this Abstract Photography technique which requires you to throw your camera into the air, spinning it around rapidly on a long shutter speed to produce some cool abstract "art."
This is my first attempt and I found it to be kind of neat! smile.gif Tell me what you think.

If you want to try it yourself, it's pretty simply. Toss your camera around in a longer shutter speed. (I just hold mine from the strap and kind of toss it and catch it with the strap)

I am not accountable if you drop your camera or any other of your gear so try it at your own risk!

LOOOOL! So that's what you meant about camera toss!

Well, why don't ya toss it around your hand, in a circle motion, or other, using the camera strap, just so you don't risk dropping your camera.

As I said, you hold is BY the strap. So you don't catch it it just falls and the strap catches it (Make sure you have it around your neck, or wrapped around wrist a few times)

haha you actually tossed your camera?? biggrin.gif
I don't think I'll ever dare to do that with my camera since it's more than twice as heavy as an XTI/XSI with kit lens tongue.gif
very nice effects though.

"Toss" a wide angle on that camera of yours; will be twice as heavy as the kit lens, biggrin.gif
