2 Things Challenge: Chain/Free

The 2 Things Challenge this week is Chain/Free.

Free of the chain for a long time,

and not so long.

Spinning Fall

More moving camera stuff.

Finally . . And Then Gone

Some Fall color finally popped around here last week, seemingly overnight.  And then just as quickly, it all went sort of brown.

2 Things Challenge: Loose/Green

The 2 Things Challenge this week is Loose/Green.

Whoa!

I attended a little photography forum Wednesday night and one of the ladies there showed a bunch of photos using various moving camera techniques.  I had done a little in the past, but never really worked on it.  I thought this one, only the second frame I shot, looked a little like an impressionistic painting of my yard, but it sort of hurts my eyes and makes me dizzy too. Click on it for a slightly larger view.

This is straight out of the camera; ISO 100, f13, 1/13th sec, 17mm focal length.  Maybe I should turn off image stabilization, although that is probably way overwhelmed by this kind of motion.

Hay Bale Jack O Lanterns

The hay bale Jack O Lanterns are more whimsical this year.

2 Things Challenge: Curve/Flat

The 2 Things Challenge this week is Curve/Flat.
I'm very late with my interpretation, but I have a very good excuse.  I forgot!!

 

I tried to capture some of the fall color reflected in the curved and flat surface of a blank DVD, but I kept getting the light patterns from the curved Fresnel grating created by the microscopic pattern on its surface.  Some of those proved as interesting as the fall color.
