Creating Pleasing Blurs by denise ippolito
This course covers the basics of creating pleasingly blurred images, the factors that influence the degree of blurring and a variety of both in-the-field and Photoshop techniques
that can be used to create pleasingly blurred images. I will teach you many creative ways to move your lens during the exposure to create a variety of artistic blurred images of flowers, trees, water, birds and landscapes. I will teach you to recognize situations where subject movement can be used to your advantage. You will learn how shutter speed affects the degree of blurring and how to control the amount of blur.
Today we live in the digital world and creating pleasingly blurred images is a great way to express your creative side. Join me for this online course and unleash the artist in you.
How does this course work? Each week you will be sent a PDF of information outlining your assignments along with all the information you will need to complete the weekly assignment. At the end of the week you will submit images for critique to the instructor. Your instructor (in this case Denise) will critique the images and give you her thoughts and suggestions for improvement. You will then move on to the next step. Due to schedules and time constraints students will be asked to complete the weekly assignment in a timely manner.
