Fiona Sexton, Monet Dreaming (Creative 2021)

I love Autumn! During Autumn this year I drove to Mount Macedon. I was walking through the spectacular Tieve Tara Gardens when I noticed this arched bridge covered in beautiful foliage. I thought I would experiment with the intentional camera movement technique. I tried moving my camera many different directions and using different shutter speeds. I found the rotation of the camera worked best following the arch of the bridge. I love how this technique uses your camera "as a paintbrush". I think the person in the right of the image also adds some interest. The image reminded me of a Monet painting. I am happy with the result and want to explore this technique more.
