Excellent effects and colors, Ken. Cant wait to have you teach me stuff like that on our group trip to Starved Rock!! #4939818

Hahahahaha! Another trick is this: if you have a chair that rotates (like an office chair), sit down on it then spin it around by using your feet, while holding your camera with your extended hands and take a picture of you.

Be careful, it's nauseating ... :-) #4940458

Terrific shot, Ken! The zoom is very effective, I like that it zooms in to a spot on the edge, rather than the center. Congratulations on your very well done POTD. #5201162

Awesome shot Ken! Love the effect you achieved and the brillant colors create a beautiful "mosaic"effect. I have never attempted any shots like yours - but am now inspired to do so - any suggestions??? I shot with a Canon D20. #5201937
