(Day 20) - Collision Course

I'm revisiting marbles this week on my project. They're such fun subjects to shoot...literally.

I've always had trouble capturing the motion of shooting marbles so decided to practice today. I must have rolled that one marble countless of times in burst mode. Still wasn't sure if I got anything until looking through the photos on my computer and saw this one! Yay! :)

[Taffy]

Great title for this, and good capture of motion especially in the striped marble on its way to hit the group.

[Debs Stott]

Perfect timing, and you must have the patience of a saint.

[Sylvia Binch]

Wonderful colours and well done catching the marble in motion. You have more patience than me.

[Susan.T.]

Great shot,nice colours.
Well captured.

[Margo]

this is nice. We used to play them at primary school. & home on the farm

[Dianne]

Brilliant!

[Sheralee S]

Great colourful image. I love that you were able to capture the motion.

[Francoise]

that is astonishing (and so cheerful)

[Steggie Saurus]

I love the composition... how you clustered the marbles at the very bottom of the pure white image. So effective. This is something I could stare at without getting tired. But maybe that's just because my world is so colourless at the moment. ;-)

[Mel Marie]

Very cool! I love how colourful it is. You should put this on canvas it would give a nice punch to a room.

[Gayle]

Terrific blurred motion shot! I've tried motion blur shots with dice and billiard balls so I can totally identify with having to roll what seems like hundreds of times before capturing a decent blur. I really like your timing in capturing the motion marble just as it is hitting the group of marbles. Well done! :-)

I appreciate all your hard work to make this happen so perfectly Chris. The mark of an artist is that he doesn't give up!

[amyK]

Well done!

[Sue Rose]

I really love all those wonderful colours on the white and your composition is perfect. Well done on your patience too! Fav

[Chris Johnson]

@melmarie3 - What a nice thing to say. Thank you Mel! I just may do that for my room! :D Also I truly love your photos. I really like the editorial feel of your shots the things in your life and family. :)

@taffy @dibzgreasley @bintal @skippysue @777margo @dide @bella_ss @francoise @steggiesaurus @amyk @suesmith

Thanks everyone so much!!!! Happy to hear that the blur and the colors were a real treat to your eyes. :D

@gaylewood - Thanks Gayle! So you know exactly what I had to go through to get this shot. Was thinking I could catch the blur in a few shots but hundreds of shots later I was still at it. But it's soooo hard for me to quit once I get started and the challenge did spur me on. :)

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Guymundo]

Brilliant colours, especially on the white background. I tried to capture a similar thing, light trails on a moving pinball. Let's just say that it most certainly isn't easy. But I really like it as it is.

[Kathy A]

Those marbles are marvellous colours

[Shawna Schroeder]

That's awesome, great shot!! I have tons of marbles, never thought to try this lol.

[Chris Johnson]

@shawnas365 - Thanks!! It takes quite a bit of time to get right but the challenge is fun!
