No need to comment. I'm experimenting this week for ETSOOI-22 Motion. Inspired by Jo's work with trees ( http://365project.org/jo13/365/2013-10-27) ( @jo13), and using what I think were similar settings (low ISO, smallest aperture setting, shutter between 1 - 3 seconds. But, I ended up moving more quickly up and down and I was working with trees that had a lot of branches. I kept editing to try to bring out some of the tree structure and convey the very blue sky and beach in the background. I wish I had tried earlier as it was convenient being in the middle of the woods! I'll have to find a park with some trees now that I'm back in an urban setting.
Keep trying Taffy it is just a matter of trial and error really, I had another go yesterday http://365project.org/jo13/365 and got a result I am quite pleased with, I'm going to give it another go as I like the effect and want to see how much more I can get out of it. You are definitely on the right track and I like how the light sparkles through the trees.
@jyokota I was shooting into the light and using such a low aperture that it sparkled. As I edited the shot, I brought up the white and sparkles to make it look like water. But it was really just a blown out sky.
@mzzhope THanks Hope! That's also what Junko had thought. It was one of about 30 I had taken. This really is so much harder than I thought it would be!
@anazad511 Thanks Ana! It's been fun playing around with it, and it surprised me to see how hard it is (and the role luck plays to some extent). You should give it a try -- I bet you'll end up with some great images.
@northy Thanks Northy! I appreciate the visit and vote of confidence. These are such fun ones to do. I had hoped to do a b&w one today but weather didn't cooperate.
