Ceiling Fan by olivetreeann

Ceiling Fan

Spent most of the day cleaning and child-proofing my home. Isaac is coming to visit with his mom and dad tomorrow!
Perfect action capture ....I love the pov and light and shadow! WOW

@karenann Thank you Karenann! I'm battling a migraine tonight and about to sign off. I think I overdid the cleaning today! Will catch up on your album later.

Cool
February 17th, 2013  
get a good night's rest, and have a great time with Isaac (and his mom and dad)!
February 17th, 2013  
how cool , I am sure you are excited.
February 17th, 2013  
Oh yes I remember those days. No little ones right now anyway.
February 17th, 2013  
Love how you caught the motion of the fan
February 17th, 2013  
Wonderful sense of motion. Enjoy your family time!
February 17th, 2013  
I love the way you've captured the motion! Have a good visit...
February 17th, 2013  
Cool shot of the spin!

We have these in some of our rooms too! I'd love to have one on at the moment, but the girls are out so it wouldn't be a good idea... Soooooo hot and sticky here right now - bleugh!
February 17th, 2013  
Another beautiful photo, great capture.
February 17th, 2013  
Love the sense of motion in this one. Great shot.
February 17th, 2013  
I agree with Dione.
February 17th, 2013  
Good capture and composition. Enjoy Isaac's visit!
February 17th, 2013  
Brilliant - love the whizziness you've captured!
February 17th, 2013  
Interesting capture of the movement
February 17th, 2013  
I like the movement in this. Very nice capture :-)
February 17th, 2013  
Great movement shot.

Thank you to all! Sad news last night- Christopher's recruiting trip was cancelled as he no longer needed to meet with the player on Long Island. But he and Betsy promised to bring Isaac out during Spring Break, so we'll look forward to that happening soon. But yes, I'm a bit bummed today even though the migraine is gone.
February 17th, 2013  
So sorry for your obvious disappointment. Fortunately Spring Break isn't that far off.
February 17th, 2013  
@allie912 Thank you Allison- it doesn't pay to get angry or too sad, so I'll put my energy into looking forward to the visit (and putting my house back together tomorrow. I'm still too achy from yesterday today!)
February 18th, 2013  
Great shot of the fan. I like the crop! Sorry that Isaac is getting to come visit.
February 18th, 2013  
@tara11 Thanks Tara- later in the Spring. I will try to be patient!
February 18th, 2013  
another great photo of something so mundane.
February 18th, 2013  
Good motion shot and angle of the fan. This was a fun series.
February 18th, 2013  
@olivetreeann Oh, I'm sorry Isaac's visit was cancelled.

Nice shot! I am trying to figure out how to get a ceiling fan moving with my new camera! I haven't figured that one out yet. This is a cool shot. Love the motion. Sorry the visit didn't work out. Soon, though!
February 18th, 2013  
@joreasonable Thank you Jo! lol Ceiling fans are mundane, aren't they!?
@cimes1 Thanks Carole- I tried to take a wide variety of subjects. That was a challenge in itself!
@eudora Thanks Diane! That little dose of sympathy means a lot!
@prttblues Thanks Bev! I know you have a better version of what I have, so I know your camera can do it. This is what I do on mine- I set the ISO at 80 which is the lowest my camera will go and then shoot. My ISO is located on the outer ring of the FUNCTION/SETTING button on the back of the camera. I would assume yours is similar that way- but basically what you want to do is put the ISO at a slow setting- 80 or 100 will be the best, 200 might also work but anything higher that will take the shot in stop action mode. Have fun playing!
February 18th, 2013  
Interesting combination of blur and pin sharp detail. So sorry to hear that the visit didn't work out, but glad that the migraine has lifted at least.
February 18th, 2013  
Wonderful movement here. I feel like I could reach up, grab the string and take control.
February 19th, 2013  
@automaticslim Thank you Andy! You and me both about the migraine!
@pflaume Thanks Lisa! That's why I left that in there.
February 19th, 2013  
did jeff look at you funny having to turn on the ceiling fan in the middle of a cold snap? :-) very nice motion shot!
February 19th, 2013  
@summerfield Thanks Vikki- actually no. He wasn't home when I took the shot, but the fan actually runs while we have the wood stove on. The setting reverses the air flow- so it's not blowing on us, but up into the cathedral ceiling which forces the warm air to flow back down and throughout the house. So he wouldn't think it was strange at all that the fan was on- he'd expect it to be on.
February 19th, 2013  
Your shots always amaze me, you make ordinary objects looks so beautiful. Fantastic motion shot and processing =)
February 26th, 2013  
@tanja_1211 Thank you Tanja- I take that as high praise coming from you as I admire your beautiful shots too! I have to be honest, in my first year I was frustrated that I couldn't always go out and take beautiful landscapes or shots of interesting places- but once I got over my imagined limitations, I discovered that within the four walls of my home there are some pretty amazing things to photograph too- if I just have the eyes to see them!
