The Dynamics of Touch

dynamic scope- especially love the red orange of Fall line caught just below the wind turbines
and catching the whir of almost touch is incredible!
awesome photograhy my friend!

Charlotte-
 
Thank you, Charlotte. I was experimenting with motion and this occurred. It struck me instantly of humanity and the hyper-domino effect that can accompany being touched by another in a myriad of ways but especially touch.
 
Hello Cedric,

Indeed I did, but I stupidly used the wrong lens for this shot and ended up cropping as much as I dared via IQ. So "cleverly" to cover up my mistake, I adopted the space as part of the universally wide them of connectivity. This probably should have been posted in 'Risk It'. Thanks for calling.

A gem of an idea!

Sometimes there's a gem of an idea, behind a snap. However, if things worked that easily, art would not be precious as everyone could do it by clicking the shutter. Thanks William for allowing me to experiment with your concept and shot. Here's a totally different way of looking at the image. It's not mean to be better than yours but rather you open up your imagination to the myriad of ways you might see your concept develop.

I'm intrigued by what you appear to be going after. This is to jog you to work more, going back on that trek to look at things anew, take more pictures and rework them to express your ideas here. I believe that materializing one's imagination is an iterative process of work. However, it takes a lot of effort for most of us to get something that has not only the idea, but is imbued with some essence of a self-sustaining power too. I say this, not as some guru but rather as another traveler on the same pilgrimage.

Thank you for the effort, Asher. I see your point: Intimacy of mood to compensate for the distance. I think I will pursue completing the theme though. The Mid-West east of the Rockies is my stomping ground regardless of season and I should return soon.

William,

I hope you do more. This motif does not have to be executed with wind turbines, or does it. Opening up your concept to other representations of this idea might be possible using whatever is already around you.
