How do you shoot this?

Hi,
I couldn't figure out how to do this.
Can you take a look?

It calls...shooting through a mirror @ 90 deg verticle. It looks like the picture was taken from Vietnam

Re: Photography trick question

Can you clarify a bit on that?
More details plz?

In Hanoi to be specific. 29 on the plates gives it away.

Re: Photography trick question

I am more interested in learning the method. The location is irrelevant

 

[ishdakuteb]

look like it is shot through a filter; for example, cokin fast filter...

I'd have guessed a fairly long exposure while moving the camera a bit up with the shutter open and then keep it a tad longer on the subject until the exposure is done. But just a wild guess.

Either a yukky filter or a broken camera. Google Sony CCD failure for an example of what a broken sensor read off looks like. Not too far removed from this.

The Mirror answer is a possibility, but not 100% It would give you some ghosting due to the thickness of glass but that would normally be offset ghosting not vertical esp if you shoting at 45deg. You cant shoot 90 deg at a mirror so the 90deg comment isnt quite right.

Id say a filter, not sure what one but as said a 'fast' or 'speed' type filter, Linear type should give you this, could be just finding the right filter.

Otherwise photoshop it, duplicate layer, motion blur 90deg, by quite a lot then experiment with the opacity and layer mode, poss lighten, overlay or screen at 10% and you'll be pretty similar.

as important as as how to shoot this is.... why shoot this?

I agree with Pato, possibly been on a tripod with a 3 way head as the trails from the upward movement appear pretty straight.

Do I win a prize? ;D

What the hell is this? I can't make it out. Just looks like a double exposure.

 

[Vossie]

Looks like it it shot through a window that adds some reflections.

My vote is for through a mirror at an angle but in this digital age it's possible use various techniques to do something similar in photoshop.

Yeah he probably meant 45 degrees (or 90 degree angle between incidence and reflection).

I've seen some old mirrors that introduce some serious aberrations especially when off axis, but I'd tend to agree with you that this is not a mirror. This is probably some sort of weird instagram type filter.

You guys are right,
we couldn't figure this out because it was photoshopped involving layers and stuff.

Thank you very much!!!
