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! :)
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. ;-)
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! :-)
@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. :)
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. :)
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.
Well captured.
