The Black Effect

The Black Effect. Sounds so dramatic. Thing is, I don't even know if there is such a phenomenon as The Black Effect. I soley created it up here becuase it sounds effective for these pictures. Since I made it up, what do I mean by it? The Black Effect, in this case, defines as a silhouette that has been taken with movement.

What is this? A picture! Of course it's a picture, but what's the picture have on it? THE BLACK EFFECT! Haha, well there is a short story behind this picture. I woke up a lot later than expected, which meant I was late. I rushed and sped through my morning routine, and then hopped into the car. Literally. That's when I notice the beautiful sunrise in the distance. The sky was blasted with all sorts of colors. From the yellow-orange you see there, out to a purple. All those colors were just calling for a picture. Which meant I had to think of a way to enhance the colors a little bit, instead of just taking a plain picture of the sky. As I passed by trees after trees, I thought, why not trees? And here you see the colors beautified by the trees. The silhouette brings out the colors in the back, really making it pop out. What I did not expect was the show of movement. I expected the scene to just freeze, which would need fast shutter speed. You can see the motion with the blurred ground and even the slightly blurred trees in the back.

What do we have in this picture? Skiiers! Of course you see skiiers, but where are the skiiers? On a skii lift. And skii lifts are in motion right? Which leads us to... THE BLACK EFFECT! This picture has a short story as well... We were skiing and I took this picture while on the skii lift. My buddy next to me was creeped out because it was dark, the skii lift creaked, there were lights in intervals, and the lights were green! It wasn't really green but for some reason, it looks green here. Another question for you...did I take this picture in front or behind me? I took this behind me, which ended up being great for a silhouette. So where can you see motion in this? The right side is blurred ever so slighty. The lift wasn't going fast enough to get a good blur. Also, I edited this a bit. You can tell by the dust specks and the tear in the middle. I added those in, and it gives this old look.
