For extended seeing, I wanted to focus on a piece of what I see during my every day routine of walking through the city and look at it in a different light. There is so much life and energy in the city as whole, but I wanted to take a step back and focus on the little details in the city, like the actual construction of the buildings. I also wanted to communicate a slower and relaxed side of center city, rather than the fast-paced chaos usually associated with city environments. I felt that using a slow motion camera shutter would help to create the more relaxed and nostalgic feel that I was seeking. In order to shoot my POW titled "City", I wanted to capture the geometric and structured feel of the city. I chose an angle where the buildings perfectly framed the picture. I purposely eliminated the sky or any nature from the picture because I wanted it to be mainly focused on the city and the structural objects. Once I found the perfect angle, I used the slow speed camera app on my iPhone "Slow Shutter Camera". I first focused on a street view of the city with the focal point being the two girls walking ahead of me. I then panned the camera to a section of the city building windows. The slow progression of the camera lens from the girls to the windows creating a blurry, transparent layer over the image. Once the image was complete, I used the auto-enhance option effect option in order to bring out the energy in the background of the picture.
