I took this shot while hiking the other day. While a photographer used to have to carry a big camera, tripod and cable release to make images like this, now they can be made with an iPhone alone. Simply take a picture in the “live” mode. Be sure to hold the camera steady for a few seconds before and after taking the image. Then when you view the image on your phone, swipe up. This will open a menu of effects. Select “long exposure” and you’re done. Or, if you need a bit more exercise, go ahead and haul all the gear into the woods with you.
Lovely image, a perfect representation of a walk in the woods! It’s the hold-the-camera-steady part that I have difficulty with.
Thank you, Liz. I crouched down and rested the phone on my leg.
Ah, tricks of the trade, eh?
Lots of practice.
Hi Chris! Did you take the shot on your iPhone!? It is brilliantly captured ❤
I did. Thank you so much. These little phones can do a lot.
Also because you are an amazing photographer 😍😍❤️❤️
Aw, thank you.
We’ve had some sizable trees bottleneck around the bend.
It’s that time of year with high water and trees that have come down over the winter.
Cool trick! I wonder if my fancy new Samsung S20 can do that… >grin<
You can try….
Wish I had cool spots like this to hike in!
The trick is socially distancing during hikes. We are all wandering off the path a bit.
Just as long as you don’t get lost 🙂
It adds to the adventure.
Not if you can’t find the bread crumbs back to home 😉
I’m impressed with your technique! Beautiful shot, Chris! Happy to see you’re making time for nature and creativity. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you, Sandra. It’s a fun technique to have as a tool. Getting out helps to keep me sane. I hope your day is going well. 😊
That shot is stunning. I love how you have captured the movement of water, Chris! Thanks so much for that tip with the iphone. I am going to try that for sure.
Not sure I can go out for a walk today with the rain and gusty winds though 🙂
I hope the camera technique works for you. No, today is not a walking day. Let’s hope for sunny skies soon. 😊
Isn’t it fun! It’s amazing what these phones can do!
Hope your Easter was wonderful!
Happy Week to you!
Thank you, Nancy. I hope you have a great week also.
Mobile photography is also very fun 🤓☺️ lots to experiment with…enjoy your walks Chris ~ smiles Hedy 😀
Thank you, Hedy.
Awesome! I didn’t know that this was possible with an iPhone – too bad I don’t have one! 😂 So it will be the gear for me. 😉
You’ll get a good workout hauling your gear into the woods.
