More intentional camera movement photography
Usually when I'm doing intentional camera movement photography I take anywhere between a hundred and five hundred shots of one particular subject. It's not uncommon to get only one or two good ones out of a series of a few hundred. The majority always gets thrown out right away during the first pass of editing. After that, I'm left with around 10-20% of the shots.
At that point I have to walk away from them for a while, since I find it very hard to pick the best shots right after I took them. So they'll just sit patiently in their Aperture folder for a couple of days/weeks until I feel the inclination to look at them again. Only then I can quickly pick the ones I like best and, if need be, do a little post processing or cropping. That's what I did this morning with the above photo, one of a series I took a couple of weeks ago.
Normally I'll see if I can create a little series of at least three photos from the same set, but sometimes, like in this case, there's not enough shots that really grab me, or they're too similar. So I thought I'd just post this one...
