Superfood!

Yeah, a blueberry in the colander. When I am shooting in my kitchen, the ship is in rough water. ;) A twofer... one for the theme on "isolated objects" this week and one for the "challenge 52" zoom-blur (to encourage people to participate). The challenge deadline date is 1/29/16. I did this zoom effect in post-processing (full confession).

A link to the challenge is here: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/27094/technique-challenge-52-zoom-burst

Anyway, as always, thanks for taking time to visit. I appreciate each one.

Indeed, you have enhanced the look of this super fruit and created a new piece of art with it!

[Danette Thompson]

Great focus.

[Dyan Stevens]

This reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it. Love the effect you used, plus the macro on the blueberry!

[Marnie]

This is fab Rosie, the ship is handling the rough water pretty darned well IMHO. I love the effect, the pattern and the colours in this shot. Fav.

Fun effect!! The post processing worked even better than in camera, I suspect -- great focus on the berry

Wonderful capture Rosie, perfect for both challenges. Spot-on focus on that centre fruit, and lovely zoom burst

[Louise & Ken]

What a happy delight! I have grandkids who would encourage their mommies to hang this photo on the kitchen wall!

[Sally Ings]

Wonderful effect! Very cool zoom burst.

[Kim Harper]

I can't figure out if the blueberry is shooting out of the colander or if it's going into the black hole at warp speed. Great effect. I can't stop looking - keep thinking something is going to happen!

[Edwin Ramos]

Think you forgot to tag this for tech52?

[☠northy]

oh very cool! i started playing around with the zoom burst technique on the weekend but clearly got distracted and forgot all about it... something to do tomorrow night if i can't get someone to cooperate and pose for a portrait for the Dogwood challenge :)

[Rosie Kerr]

@fearinnocent You know, since I am the host, I think I am going to skip on that. :) I am hoping that folks will join in, though, and was trying to provide some inspiration.

[Edwin Ramos]

@rosiekerr my bad did not think about that. I apologize.

[Rosie Kerr]

@fearinnocent No biggie... Who can keep this stuff in their head?? :)
