It's Not Your Eyesight
Posted by Barbara Kile (Ft. Worth, United States) on 23 February 2012 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
No, it's not your eyesight! I've been in a 'blurry' mood of late and have been using the iPhone and the 'Slow Shutter' app with 1" exposures and camera movement. The fun part is, you never know what you're going to get, and you don't get the same results twice!
I have taken quite a few of late, so thought I would feature complimentary colors in this collage. Maybe that will be a theme for future ones too!
Remember to try new things when you feel you've hit a 'dry spell.' Things like camera pans can wake up your creative juices and give you wonderful 'color washes.' These flowers were taken by rotating the phone, and by panning.
WELCOME and thanks for visiting!

Beautiful colours and flows, Barbara. Even though I like all three pictures I'm permanently drawn to the middle one. Great spring triptych.

Great effect and beautiful colors.
Do this also with my camera and you get stunning results.

Lovely work Barbara, and yes we need projects like this in the winter months if we have no "winter scenes" to shoot.

These are so gorgeous, Barbara. I was just sitting on my patio looking at my few daffodils, and thinking about taking some photos, but it is so windy. Then I thought I should try something with long exposures and blur just to see what I got with them dancing in the wind. But, alas, I just came inside and got caught up looking at blog photos. LOL Maybe your cool shots will motivate me to try something new!

@B. Thomas: Thanks, Barbara. I've actually taken some with the camera still and the wind doing its thing! Here's one I took last year:

Looks like watercolours - the blurry exercise is working well.

Very creative ideas that produce eye-catching results! I love the center one as the lines seem to resemble whipping flames of a fire.

What a great idea, thanks barbara! I'm going out now to try that. This is a lovely collage, bright and colourful and, yes, I like the results -- on my wall. 4stars. ;OD
PS: I have a plant post coming up for you late-March which you may like.

@janina: Thanks, Janina - always love flower posts - my eye goes to them first! Let me know how your slow shutter goodies come out. There was a display of wine glasses catching some great light on a shelf in a store and I panned them and the result was fun too - so it doesn't have to be flowers. :)
