Summer Lovin' by mariaswaisland

Summer Lovin'

41 / 365
Danbo and his girl are enjoying the summer holidays in their groovy VW splitty.

Thank you to my husband, Paul, who not only spent many hours yesterday making me my first Danbo, but then at my request, made me another one today. (At least he's getting quicker!) :)

Hi there Maria! I'm your Get Pushed Partner. Sorry, have been quite busy lately but here I am :)
I received your challenge and will get onto it!
I have looked through your photos and they ar all lovely and crisp and focused so I am giving you the challenge to take a photo with Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) the shutter needs to be open long enough for there to be movement in the photo.
For an example of mine look here http://365project.org/monika64/365/2012-07-24 but you can interpret it as you wish!

@monika64 Thank you Monika for my challenge. This sounds interesting and certainly not something I've tried before! I'm off now to do a bit of research. :)

Love this Maria, Danbos are so cute! Love the composition and the little flower giving a touch of orange against the turquoise.

Cute! I had wondered what a danbo was when I saw the word in threads.

@carolinedreams Thank you Caroline. My Danbos are homemade, but you can buy ready made ones (although rather expensive) online. :)

@mariaswaisland You made these?!
posted August 21st, 2012  
@carolinedreams Actually... It was my husband. I don't have the patience for all the cutting and sticking that's required! If you search online for Danbo templates there are quite a few that you can print out. There are also videos on YouTube for putting them together. These two took about 5 hours. I'm looking forward to more photo opportunities with them!

@mariaswaisland good on him! The cute orange flower just makes this beautiful summery shot.

I adore Danbo and find it amazing to see all the expressions that they can show with no more face than they have. Beautiful setting for yours
