Algonquin reflections

Another in the drive-by series of photos taken from a moving vehicle

utilizing slow shutter speed. Thanks for your comments, they are

appreciated.

This is one of the photos i was talking about when i said the composition seems very free! Love the colors! Also love the reverse angles on the blurs in the sky and the water!

 

I think you had better go on tour with this series. Best of times! ~Mary~

I have noticed with my drive-by shots that the reception is often very polarized. They always garner more than a few 3/3s. I think it is a good thing in as much as I am, at the very least, generating some sort of reaction.It is not always necessary that a person like something in order to be moved by it. This in part leaves me a bit perplexed by the rather universal response my daisy photo on this weeks, photo of the week, has generated? Not that I'm complaining Matthew,heart felt praise is a rare and wonderful gift to receive, and I'm always glad when I can manage to move another with my work, as both of your work most certainly has done for me.

I'm reminded here of van Gogh's work at Arles. This is partly working because you've got static and dynamic elements in your blur--the trees and their reflections against the brights of the background and dappling in the foreground--but the change in direction doesn't seem to produce a unified picture. I think taking several blurred exposures, selecting portions, and putting them together with digital blending would offer better control. This is worth pursuing--it's rather like a fleeting glimpse of the Manitou.
