CAMERA TOSSING





Perhaps the most risky field of kinetic photography is that of camera

tossing, in which the photographer literally throws their equipment

into the air in hopes of producing an artistic looking image. Many

camera tosses take place at night, when the camera is able to capture

light with a long exposure, resulting in streaks of hypnotizing light

patterns. The basics include using a timer or slow shutter speed,

pressing the shutter button and quickly throwing the camera into the

air (during, or just before, the photograph is exposed) and then

catching the camera before it hits the ground.
