I did some experimental photographing and shooted this river with longer exposures.

Ooh, I like all of them. The last two especially because they are so abstract and don't even look like water anymore. This is a terrible compliment for a photograph, but they'd make excellent desktop wallpapers

Also framed on a wall, I'm sure

I love the second, it brings calm. But I like the light you get in the third one. nice job!

AlphaGAK20D · 05-15-2009, 06:37 AM

The 2nd and 3rd are especially compelling images - well done! Would love to know what lens, focal length used (if not a prime), and shutter speed/aperture. Very nice images and wonderful abstracts!

**Rense** · 05-15-2009, 06:51 AM

They're all great! It's hard to pick a favorite, and they are all inviting to look longer.....

EDIT: went to your Flickr, and the Lycopodium annotinum photo is great too!

MRRiley · 05-15-2009, 06:56 AM

All of them are very nice but #1 is my fav. It has the best lines (IMHO) and is at exactly the right spot between real and abstract. Nicely done!

I'd call this a successful experiment! I really liked all of them, probably #3 is my favorite. They are just on the edge between realism and abstraction.

wildman · 05-15-2009, 07:30 AM

When an image gets this abstract it is often hard for the viewer to "connect" to it.

But these work and work well for me.
Well done.

daacon · 05-15-2009, 07:35 AM

Very cool I think #1 is my favorite of the series.

Jimbo · 05-15-2009, 08:28 AM

Great PP work Joni. Love all three of them. JIM

I used my Sigma 105mm/2.8 for these. Aperture was something from f/16 to f/32. Shutter speed varied from 2sec to 6sec.

Actually i only did a really light PP for these photos.

I can tell and that's why the photo's work. Just enough to make them pop Joni. I will have to give this a try. What I really like about all your photo's is the lighting. Looking through your 30+ approvals on PPG, they are all works of art! JIM

I like them very much Joni - #1 is my favorite for the defined flow it shows. Gets me psyched up for kayaking on Sunday

It feels like paintings of Cloude Monet!
