Has the "blurred water time-exposure" shot run its "course?"

Seems like nearly ever shot of water I see today is a time exposure using ND filters to get the water to blur. It was fine, effective in the beginning when I started seeing it, but now it's getting overdone.

Its an individual thing and calling the shot to express what the photographer sees. I like to see dynamics in water, always have. That white fluffy stuff has its place, its something to lift an image and separate the water from the background but it has problems in long exposures where movement of trees/ferns detract. |

Foolish or not, I'll assume whatever responsibility you care to assign me for my opinion. I think blurry water usually looks silly, even tacky. I believe I ridiculed it long before Rich did. Denunciation of the stylistic decisions that artists make long predates anyone currently posting on Usenet. It's not inconsistent with artists' right to do what they want to do. And the widespread notion, currently in vogue, that something is good art just because the "artist" says it is, should not be encouraged. Bob |

Foolish or not, I'll assume whatever responsibility you care to assign me for my opinion. I think blurry water usually looks silly, even tacky. I believe I ridiculed it long before Rich did. It has been ridiculed many times in the past, long before the internet gave voice to the ill informed such as Rich and the easily influenced as yourself. Denunciation of the stylistic decisions that artists make long predates anyone currently posting on Usenet. There ya go! It's not inconsistent with artists' right to do what they want to do. And the widespread notion, currently in vogue, that something is good art just because the "artist" says it is, should not be encouraged. Who claimed that? What I object to is that anyone should say what an artist or photographer should or should not do. Rich should not. You should not. That doesn't mean you're forced to like it or approve of it. And like Rich, your approval or not of it is absolutely meaningless. -- "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." -Samuel Clemens. |
