Dianna~

Thanks for taking the time to look and leave your nice words.

A technique I play around with sometimes is to use a slow shutter speed and during the exposure, slightly turn the focus ring. Of course, you will need to be in manual focus mode. At first it's hit or miss but you start to get a "feel" for it. Although, it's always somewhat unpredictable. thanks again.

Welcome to the Fine Photographers Club!
Just reviewed your gallery - your flower abstracts are OUTSTANDING! They would make beautiful notecards.
This is one of my favorite abstracts - so perfect.

God Bless! #7011557
