Child's Play ...

Bigger Viewed Larger ...

What a wonderful composition, it's full of energy and motion and color and fun and poetry and animation and it's just great!! I wish you'd post some of these shots for critique and get lots of good ratings and exposure. I hope none of the little kiddos were spun off into space.

woohoo~ this will be one of my favorites in your 'motion' pictures! :) really brilliant, if i may say so.

Even the Texan version of spin the bottle is bigger!

I Love the zoom lines going out in every direction but the swirl pattern you caught here is nothing short of exceptional. Love the title -autobiographical?

Leann - well yes - and well yes again ... I was walking thru Lithia Park and nothing struck me as particularly interesting so I 'zoomed' everything - including the 'poison oak' signs )-; ........ except for the Owl - I didn't zoom him.

 

Interesting Mr. kay - I hesitated to even upload it ..... thanks for sharing that !

 

Thank you Susan - not yet - but I'm going to spin it harder next time - (-;

Ken, I'm at a loss as how to properly express how "wow" this image is. Just letting you know I love it. elisabeth ;-)

This is definitely the best zoom you've posted...I think it's because you've caught the twirling motion and added to it with the zoom. The swirling lines make this so unique. Very abstract, very mesmerizing. Love the bits of maize and blue...knew you were a Michigan fan after all :-P

 

Les

fascinating once again! can I get the recipe?

It's not pretty Hanna - )-; - More Salsa ? - (-;

 

Ms. Battjes you need to calibrate yer monitor - obviously you're mistaking a Longhorn for a Wolverine - again ...... just sayin' (-;

 

Thanks Elisabeth .... !

Very nice whirl you captured there!

I have attempted a few of these and have not gotten up the courage to post them yet.

 

What the HECK IS IN THAT POT?

J

ugh!

 

:-)

Janis - post emmmm' - we won't make fun of you - evil grin ........ I am told this is armadillo - probably from a restaurant in Port Arthur'd be my guess - (-; ...

 

Dear Hanna - the recipe would be a 1/2 second shutter speed - zoomeddd - hand held ..... smile.

Another great shot Ken!! I see that you have perfected your ZOOM/SPIN technique. The colours mesh very well together too.

Hi Kimster - it takes practice for sure - hold the camera still and move it - makes complete sense ....... Thank you for stopping by ! (-;

You haven't heard...PA is a ghost town...

Show me ? ........ Might be an interesting photo project - jaa.

Deja vu - I hated the merry-go-round when I was a kid and this brings it all back. That dizzy, sickening feeling when you finally get off. Come to think of it, I've had this feeling fairly recently when I drank a bottle of Port accidently all by myself! I think the pot of stuff reminded me...

 

Good job, Ken - you are the master at this type of shot. Most can't pull it off, but you do time after time.

Big Smile Kimi ....... thank you (-;

... can I play too?? .... movement with color... Pure Energy, Ken, very nice.... and it looks like all colors are represented ( including an itsy bitsy, smidgen of green )... Another Original Photo...

Sure Bama' - hop on anytime - I'll slow it down a bit for you - (-; ...

Wow. A really fantastic abstract, Ken, pulsating with color and movement.

This is wonderful, Ken: movement, colors,the essence of the dance.

Thank you Mark and Paula - at the urging of a friend I created a separate folder for these shots - *Movement* ...

 

I very much appreciate you both taking the time - means alot ...

in a word Cool.

 

I like the bio pic too...
