SWMBO and I were in Leamington Spa today where she was visiting Warwickshire College. Behind the college runs the River Leam and there is a weir. The day was grey and the sky was leaden (it started to rain shortly afterwards), but I decided to try to get a shot with some motion blur in the water.
Not yet having stoppers for the M5 lenses, I thought I would try the "stack multiple images" approach to try and get some water movement blur. This image is formed from 8 images taken in quick succession using high speed burst mode. The technique certainly works, but I think there is a very slight lack of sharpness in the stationary parts of the image, perhaps as a result of camera vibration. I guess the message might well be that stoppers do a better job.
Not the most inspiring of images, but an interesting experiment.
