fan/fun

first impressions aside, I think this is one of those that grows on you.

This is kind of interesting. SInce it is hard to show movement with fan blades, I suppose PT opted for this approach. It doesn't look like an oscillating fan's side to side movement, since it is towards top and bottom, or may be it is. was it by camera movement? I would've liked a little more contrast. I am sorry if this comment doesn't help you much PT, sometimes I just ramble around with my thoughts. It is hard to come up with something very constructive on everything. I go with something is better than nothing with regard to comments sometimes.

I think Knicki is right about it growing on you (or did she mean "blowing?")

I might like this slightly more abstract, and think a touch of direct light could be just the thing to break the repetition.(PT, your sensor needs a clean.)

Thanks PT's. I tried about 10 or more frames shooting it, I don't know if a repetition will ever be the same.

Seven, you were right, my sensor is already cleaned. PT

Just so long as you didn't clean your censor which someone was trying to do in one of the forums the other day.....

Nice play of words sensor/censor, Seven censoring the sensor ;-))

Well, the poor guy was trying to clean a Canon sensor - so he clicked the menu in the button, mirror locked up....he waited...and waited. After about an hour he posted an Urgent Message in the forum to say he was worried the battery power might run out before the camera had finished cleaning the "censor" for him : wanted to know how long the camera would take .....

LOL.... poor guy!

Adding the motion blur has made this more interesting than a straight forward shot of the same fan. Although it's the white frame that's most visibly blurred (the part of the fan that doesnt usually move!) the effect is good. I'd be tempted to either crop square or darken the corners (add more blue to them) so that the effect carries on right to the corners of the frame.

 

Could be a wheel or some dangerous machine too.

 

Attached square crop.

Good suggestion Dominique. I like in general your way of offering an alternative.
