Impressionism/Abstract project #3
Posted by Ash, 11-03-2009, 05:11 PM Ash is offline

Another go at abstract art form from nature. This one was not intended to be purely impressionistic. Merely another trial of panning effects...





Cheers.

Really like the last three in particular. Not sure how you did the second last image, but it is awesome. Take the results of the first two and decide whether the technique produces appealing results or can be used in future to convey something on other subjects. As you learn, deciding which technique, if any, is most suitable for any given subject or arrangement, and this will come naturally to you as you practice.

Thank you JMR.
I will continue to experiment with this type of imagery with time.
Your advice has been very appreciated.
The second last is a 2-3 second exposure starting with a solitary yellow flower in the centre, then quickly panning in a spiral motion getting larger through the exposure.
I'll go more for the simple pans for the time being, as these seem a little on the extravagant side...

Ash, the first two don't do a lot for me but the last three are very nice with the second last one being awesome. Thanks for posting them.

Ash i dont know if you have any subways where you are, but i'm sure you have got some trains, hop on the first (or last) cart and you can get some funky results like these

Those are indeed cool Goosh.
No subways where I am, not even tunnel - I'm far removed from urban civilisation for some time yet...
But that's a great idea there - will remember that.

Thanks also to you Heinrich.
It's all experimental for me, so I also know little about what works at my stage in the game.
