My get pushed partner, @susale asked me to re-visit a photo from last year at this time, with an eye to what I would do differently (or I could do star trails, but we haven't had a clear enough night so far). So, I thought about what I've learned that I could apply to a scene from last year. I chose this one of Bonners Landing, the scene I see when I walk down to the beach in front of our house during the day. Last year, I used ICM as part of get pushed. Looking back, it's not a very good image! (You can view here, but really, it's nothing to look at: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-07-14). This year, I thought about the recent artist challenge and creating a triptych from three separate images. I decided to keep with the idea of Bonners Landing on the Move and capture the motion of the lake mid-day. I find this shot so much more satisfying than the earlier one. It's less gimmicky even though it uses a "technique," while it better captures the feel of the area. Susale -- I hope this fits what you had in mind! As soon as I get a good clear night that isn't really cold, I'm going to go for the star trails!
Oh, Taffy I am so jealous. You did want I wanted with our beaches, but time, weather and circumstances never aligned. Well done and now I am going to go sulk. LOL
Oh yes, I think you did very well _this is really great! Love the idea that you have used the artistic challenge to here too; this is exactly what I thought when I gave you the challenge. Looking forward seeing the star trails.
