Love the colors in this abstract, Kenneth. Very nicely done. Was this done in camera? #1109095

Thank you both for your kind words. Carol, this was done "in camera" with no computer enhancement whatsoever. This was my first attempt at trying this. I set a shutter speed of 1/2 sec to 1 sec and moved the camera in a "paint stroke" motion. Some of the pictures were really quite spectacular with unexpected results. Some were really awful-trial and error with no idea what it will actually look like. Very fun to do. I found you need subjects with vibrant color and not much white. #7373715

Thanks for the explanation, Kenneth. I would like to try this if the flowers ever bloom around here. I think this image of your is an exceptionally good one though. #7378834
