caption_attribution_description: Camera toss of lights in the dark done with a long exposure . A form of kinetic photography in which the camera is thrown into the air as the photo is being exposed. Esperanto: Fotografilo-ĵetado en mallumo, kun longa ekspono-tempo. Formo de mova fotografado, en kiu oni ĵetas la fotografilon en la aeron dum la ekspono.
context_page_description: Kinetic photography is an experimental photographic technique in which the photographer uses movement resulting from physics to create an image. This typically involves the artist not directly holding the camera, but allowing the camera to react to forces applied to it in order to make a photograph. This can include, but is not limited to; holding and shaking the wrist strap of the camera while taking a picture, dropping the camera off of objects while taking a picture, throwing or spinning the camera up in the air while taking a picture, or rigorously moving the camera while taking a picture, etc. As the photographer has surrendered control over the camera to physical forces, this technique tends to produce abstract, random or blurred-motion photographs.
context_section_description: Kinetic photography (kinetic meaning “caused by motion”) is an experimental photographic technique in which the photographer uses movement resulting from physics to create an image.  This typically involves the artist not directly holding the camera, but allowing the camera to react to forces applied to it in order to make a photograph. This can include, but is not limited to; holding and shaking the wrist strap of the camera while taking a picture, dropping the camera off of objects while taking a picture, throwing or spinning the camera up in the air while taking a picture (called a camera toss), or rigorously moving the camera while taking a picture, etc.  As the photographer has surrendered control over the camera to physical forces, this technique tends to produce abstract, random or blurred-motion photographs.
