In the bright daylight shade, to achieve a shutter speed of 1 second, I lowered my ISO to 50 and set the aperture to f/18. This slow shutter speed, combined with deliberate camera movement, created an abstract impression of my subject,…Read More![]()

Am assuming that you also generated some camera movement based on the blurring of the background and pavement grid.
