Thanks for the compliment:)
I did one more today. It was tripod mounted, F6.3, 1600 ISO, 0.4 sec speed. I just turned the camera. I was trying to make a composite by using this shot and a still frame of the same candle, but it did not look good.
I like how this one came out and how the wood on the table is just in focus.

Not so much movement of the camera, but rather the zoom lens ...

^ Well done Matt. I really like this one.
More cool stuff... I tried this yesterday with crappy results... another try this weekend I guess.
Just after sunup today, I had a lot of fun experimenting with this technique - definitely going to do more another time. I wanted to use the orange palette of the autumn leaves at my favourite hangout - Mud Lake. The best setting more me was Manual. Aperture Priority often produced more brightness than I wanted. On manual, the lens stays at F4.5. Therefore, in order to get longer exposures (approx. 1/4 sec. to 1 sec.) I stacked a couple of neutral density filters on my 50mm lens.The first images I tried were using minimal camera movement but vigorous shaking - they turned out the way I expected - I could still recognize the scenery. Gradually, I experimented with longer, slower camera movements. My favourite (pivot & swoop) shot of the leaf-covered ground at my feet produced a much more dramatic effect than I had envisioned. One note if you try this assignment: I got a few funny looks from passersby on the trail - it must have looked as if I was dancing with my camera. :laughing:
