One of my experimental photographs: candid, handheld (about 2 seconds), under available light at a telephoto
setting. This photo was created entirely with photographic effects and not software effects.

Why I Posted Some of My Best Work on
Commons.Wikimedia.Org for Public Use
My book, Experimental Digital Photography (Sterling Publishing, New York/London, 2010),
is now being used as a text book in high schools and college courses. This book is the first to
discuss experimental photographic effects, such as motion-blur, rather than software effects
created in a photo editing program such as PhotoShop.
As a result I wanted my photographs to be accessible to students, teachers, artists,
experimenters, scientists and others.
I am something of a purist when it comes to photography. I have been taking photographs
for over 40 years and know how to hold a camera steady. So virtually all of my camera work is
handheld, candid and under available light. I often shoot at very slow shutter speeds
handheld and just as often at a telephoto range. Of course, many of my photos are too
blurred using these techniques, but when they do work they have a vitality and a sense of the
moment that I think is quite unique. In this paper I wanted to share my vision of what
photography is capable of recording -- that is, not just the still sharp image we are familiar
with, but also the somewhat blurred image that breathes with the pulse of life.
For these reasons I have made some of my very best work available online and for public
use. I included a wide range of photographs and photographic effects. Virtually all of these
photographs are experimental.
This paper is a full listing of my work on Commons.Wikimedia.Org. You may use the
photographs without further permission as long as you list the URL for the photograph with
the photo.
If you do use my work, I would, of course, be delighted if you would also send me an email
and let me see how you have used the work: My email address is: [email protected]

Introduction to Rick Doble's Gallery
on Commons.Wikimedia.Org
Experimental digital photography is now taught as a course at a variety of high schools,
community colleges and colleges worldwide. My photographs and my book on the subject are
used by many of these schools. Quite a few of the photographs on this page are from my
book, Experimental Digital Photography (Sterling Publishing, New York/London, 2010), the
first book on the subject -- a book that is used in a number of these courses and is in over 250
libraries worldwide. As one of first people to experiment in this manner, I have contributed
some of my best work to Commons.Wikimedia.org.
My particular method for experimentation has been to take candid photographs at slow
shutter speeds handheld under available light. My shutter speeds have ranged from 1/4
second to 20 seconds, depending on the circumstances. This is the kind of photography in
the Wikimedia category Motion blur. I wanted to photograph a continuous duration, rather
than sequential sharp images as in Chronophotography as pioneered by Muybridge and
others. Instead I wanted to record images that showed the full range of motion over time, not
unlike the the Italian Futurists and in particular the photographer associated with the Italian
Futurists, Anton Giulio Bragaglia.
The photos you see in this gallery were created over fifteen years using digital cameras
starting in 1998. The imagery you see here was created with photographic effects and not
with computer graphics. I did, however, tweak my photos using standard darkroom techniques
to adjust contrast and brightness, for example.

Guitarists with motion-blur effects
These photos of guitar players were taken with 2-second handheld exposures.
They are candid photographs taken under available light as these guitarists played.
Effects were created with photography and not created with software.

Using motion blur techniques, these experimental digital photographs were in part inspired by the Italian Futurists.
These photos used some of the photographic ideas pioneered by the Futurist photographer, Bragaglia.
Part of the above series of guitarists in motion, these photos show the range of effects with slow shutter speed photography.

Violinists with motion-blur effects
Violinist shot at a slow shutter speed in the style of the Italian Futurist painters/photographers
In the same manner as the guitarist series above, these candid photos are of violinists as they played -- using a slow
camera shutter speed.

Various musicians with motion-blur effects
In the same manner as the guitarist series above, these candid photos are of a variety of musicians as they played -- using a
slow camera shutter speed.
