Yay! 4 day weekend, short project to complete, resulting in new photographic toy-goodness…and just in time for the contest! I bet I’ll take 1000 pictures. One of them ought to be worth some votes…
Making. See recent post under ‘hardware’ (though it’s listed under ‘New Macro Toy’, sleeping got me to realize it’s true potential.)
Easy enough to do quickly (and undo as well), but I’m going to try to think of a way to make it both omni-directional and be able to hold a fixed position. That might take longer.
Is blur by distortion OK? I had a shot I loved for another theme that I couldn’t end up using of some type as seen through a full wine glass and the words are blurred and distorted at the edges.
And here I am, two days before and finally get my inspiration. Now lets see if I can pull this off without looking like a creeper.
So…. Since I live in a bubble-wrapped “OMG THE CHILLUNS! PLEASE THINK OF THE SNOWFLAKES!” state with no see-saws or merry-go-rounds…..
Where does one draw the line between blur and soft focus?
I went out searching for a merry go round for Kid at Heart determined to take some motion blur shots spinning around the playground…merry go rounds are gone. Of course, I left in a Left Lib Paradise so they may still be out there somewhere
I had several ideas for this one but RL conspired to make sure I had no free time. So archive hunting for me unless I do something weird like take photos at work tomorrow. We’ll see if that happens… Either way best of luck to everyone! I’m looking forward to seeing the shots this week. I like things partially in focus with interesting blurry bits here and there. It reminds me of meeting people at “last call” in bars/clubs back when I used to do such things. 🙂
