I saw, they are pretty cool looking but I don't think they are much like mine.

Mine is an actual technique called "Camera Tossing"
Do a Google search on it for some more in depth detail, but it's pretty much putting your camera
on a low shutter speed, low aperture and then tossing it around while taking pictures and letting the camera dangle from the strap.

(I have a pillow under the camera just in case, but I trust my strap smile.gif)

Mah, you can do it with any camera.
You don't even have to let go if you want, you could just move it around a lot while in your hands.

Thanks smile.gif

I don't particularly like the crop in the portrait, top of the kid's head appears to be missing.

With your camera toss thing, it doesn't seem to make particularly interesting pictures, you'd be better off putting your camera on a tripod, setting it to a 5-10 second shutter and then moving lights around in front of it.

The portrait is not bad, good light. I'm not a fan of abstracts in general though...

I have learned that sometimes it's better not to have the full top of the head in portraits as this makes the forehead look bigger or smaller depending on how much hair the person may have??


Thanks Astragony, that means quite a bit coming from a pro like you happy.gif


The Camera Toss definitely ain't something that I plan to do often, it's just sometimes kinda fun to toss the camera around
and see what it comes out as biggrin.gif
