For the Scavenger Hunt #37, I revisited the theme I had used in Scavenger Hunt #32 – the wooden manikins are back!
“Intentional Camera Movement” almost stumped me, because it didn’t feel obvious to make that work in a very static context such as manikins in a studio. Until I remembered that playing with the focal length of the lens while shooting was also intentional camera movement! I set up my camera on a Platypod and then experimented with multiple takes, some going from the smaller focal length to the longer, some trying to move as smoothly as possible, some making a few pauses during the course of the lens. I ended up choosing a continuous move from longer length to shorter length.
| Camera | Pentax K-1 II |
| Lens | Pentax D FA 24-70mm F2.8 |
| Focal length | 70 to 28 mm, continuous |
| F-Number | F/22 |
| Exposure time | 3s |
| ISO | 100 |
I edited the picture to play with the “super hero zooming into the scene” aesthetics, in particular in the way I chose to tilt the image. I also processed the image to emphasize the movement trails. And I think it’s one of my favorite pictures for this Hunt 🙂
