My first attempt at camera tossing

Aimlessly browsing around the internet I came across something called Camera Tossing.  Sounded like the dumbest thing I ever heard of until I took a look at some of the results.

It is exactly what it sounds like.  Take your camera-phone or camera, set a .5 – 2 second shutter speed and toss it in the air. Depending on the surrounding, lights, shutter speed, rotation, and a bit of luck you should get something at least as good as my photo.  However, my first attempt is nothing like what others have captured.  I only tossed my iPhone to get this image.  I am sure if I ever work up the nerve to toss my DSLR I could get a better image. I cannot wait for Christmas when all the lights are up and colors are everywhere to see what I can get.

I took this image in my living room with all auto settings and a 0.5 shutter speed.  I use an app called Slow Shutter by Cogitap Software.

Throwing your camera or phone is not for everyone, but when you see what it can capture I am sure I will hear about many dropped and broken phones or cameras (not my fault I am not responsible for how you abuse your electronics), but enjoy the results!
