Nature's Questions (abstract)

I got this effect on these wildflowers by lowering the center column on my tripod at
a slow shutter speed 1/10, it caught a wobble on the way down.

Take care,

Hi Dwayne,

It resulted in a nice painterly effect. Now the challenge is to use it in a predictable/repeatable way ... ;-)

Cheers,

Or perhaps, to enjoy the unpredictability and imperfection

I like it by the way!

Adding Rhythm to a Pastoral Scene

Dwayne Oakes Nature's questions, Abstract

Dwayne,

The experiment is worth the effort! We know so much about the common things in the planet, (even though it's still mostly secret), that even showing extracts of a scene like you have done, allows us to get the sense of it. The added patterning provides a play on our expectations and we get a little rhythm too as a bonus. Whenever one can excite more parts of our brain in an agreeable manner, there's a chance that the strength of the work will be increased. This is, to me, one of those moments.

I hope you will now use this in a series and see what you can do with this idea. Likely a lot of trite images will result. However, there is, I believe, a valuable opportunity to explore a realm of extracted patterns that could be interesting, unique and worthwhile.

Thanks Asher ! I like to experiment with new camera ideas once in awhile, sometimes it pays off.

Take care,
