An abstract experiment with a colorful tree

[pjflan7]

I took these shots at .6 sec at f22 with a .9 ND filter and pushed the shutter and made a motion of some kind.

With the 1st, I held the camera still after pushing the shutter initially to freeze the overall structure and then made a quick move to the right



Same deal here freezing the structure and then a tight quick reverse C movement



Held this a tad longer and then an abrupt move to the right



This was a different tree altogether and obviously there was alot more light getting through this tree and basically held the camera initially and then did a quick left corner-right corner sweep




I have no idea whether you all will like those or not but I thought I would show you the results of playing around while waiting on my wife to get out to the car....

Hi Patrick - you certainly know how to make use of your spare time ... this is quite an experiment .. your images does have that abstract feel to them .. they're very interesting

[ScenicIllusions]

They remind me of watercolor paintings; very interesting. The second one is my favourite.

Very nice! I have to admit I'm laughing because I'm trying to recreate your movements for each image! That takes a lot of creativity to think of trying shooting new ways, and I think it paid off. I like the impressionistic, watercolor effect.

Whoa! Patrick, I think you just gave me a migraine...no just kidding, but it did make me feel a bit dizzy at first. That is just awesome...nice work my friend.

When the sun comes up, you can go find a fuller tree than mine and it should work better....eliminate the white lines from light

Love the movement and colors, reminds me of some pictures I took from the car while it was moving. Funny enough I kept them in order to paint an impressionist painting (that's how I got into photography)

Nice outside the box thinking Patrick I like the colors a lot very abstract

These are so cool! You're very creative Patrick. 2nd and 3rd are my faves - love the watercolor look in the 2nd.

very creative. the first couple of shots do have some mysterious abstractness.
