Default Abstract Attempt x 3

I was trying to do something for the "Kinetics" assignment and came up with these. I lit some candles placed them on the floor, strung up the camera so that it was facing down to the candles and swung it around. The camera swung or twisted or both. I think they look pretty interesting. I also changed the Picture Style and the WB to get the differences in colors between the three. I was thinking of putting them on my site as prints but I wasn't sure. If you think I should say so in a post if you don't think I should please give me a reason.

I'd never thought of moving the camera instead of the object XP. These are pretty amazing, keep up the good work!

I like them, the second one would look god on a print as the lines are sharp and the blacks are nice and black. The others are maybe a bit too misty for print but it's not up to me! Some people might be looking for a soft misty print lol

Actually it wasn't really my idea, haha. Check out the entries on the Kinetics assignment there were some really interesting photos taken for it. Thanks for the amazing comment. Now that school is nearly done I might try some more.

Thanks for the input. I was using what was on hand, candles in jars which I think lead to the misty quality in the photos. I was thinking about trying it again with some LEDs. I figured this might be a good place to start to get an opinion about them. Thanks

For some reason I'm drawn to the first image and think it would make a cool company logo.

Very creative and interesting shots. I think you could use any of them as prints.

Very Creative and interesting, What were your camera settings for these. I assume you set it on Blub, but what Aperture and ISO setting did you use.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.
