Camera Toss

[Mrs Fish]

If you dare

Camera toss. Set your camera to a long exposure time, click the shutter, and toss it in the air. Looks like spirograph

Interesting but a stupid thing to do. Can you imagine the insurance claim.

Cause of damage :- I threw my camera in the air to get a different picture. Unfortunately, I missed catching it and it bounced on the floor.

Indeed it does! Not sure I'll be rushing to do this, I'd lob a compact about no worries but I'm not brave/stupid enough to do it with the D70!

I'm sure dropped from a high building would also create some interesting images, but wouldn't want an Aussie fielder on the ground waiting for the catch!

Someone one here *I think* had done the short exposure version on delay timer.
Figure out how long the camera will stay in the air, set the timer for the peak of the trajectory or there abouts, toss.

Just try it with a 100-400! It would be classed as attempted suiside!

Well. Given that one only has the finest Nikon equipment it could be true, I suppose.

I'll not be chucking the D70 into the air, mind.
