I used my iPhone 5C iOS 8.1. Since this photo is my POW and also my personal favorite, I decided to give the recipe for this slow shutter photo because some classmates were curious.
I started with bothering my roomate and asking her to help take this self-portrait of myself. I stood infront of the white walls in our appartment and did some test shots with me beinhd the camera phone and her moving her hair so I could figure out how to focus on what I wanted and blur what I wanted. So, I came to the conclusion that if she tapped the focus on my phone to my shirt then my upper bodywould become blurry. I stayed perfectly still except for moving my head / hair. I was determined to take this photo without an app because I really enjoy the rawness of a photograph. I chose to make it b&w toned because it makes the picture pop even more and give it the energy I was looking to create. I used my camera roll editing tools to make the photo b&w and boost the contrast a bit then took it into the app 'BeFunky' to tone it. This is definitely one of my more successful slow shutter speed photographs, I had a lot of fun creating it.
