Rick Sandler: World's Worst Photo






I discovered in this exercise that breaking the rules can lead to creative opportunities.  This image was taken in my garden.  The exposure was set to +2.5 to ensure overexposure and the shutter was set at 1/5 second.  I added motion blur by moving the camera.  Over the course of 20 shots, I added more motion in different directions because the images were not ugly enough.  I began to see the effects of motion blur as a way of shaping an abstract image.  This image was post-processed in Lightroom 4 using only standard tools.  No heroic manipulation of settings or filters were used.
