I'm really liking these Y. All three allow my mine's eye to find the beauty of pattern, color and association. Each one is unique in its own way, very cool!

These are really cool!

I would put the three of them side to side in the same black frame, and hang it in my living room!

TripleYYY, seems that we have similar interests in generating this types of images. I have accumulated quite a few and I find the effects created by such technique very interesting.

The 1st image has a 3-D look which I have observed in many of my images as well.

Beautiful captures.

#1 and 3 are really interesting for me - they really leave me looking and wondering what was actually in front of your camera when you took them.

Nice work.

Hi Ed, You can do this with your Canon camera. This is camera movement. These are only one shot. You use as slow of shutter speed as the existing light will allow and then just move the camera. Also use the lowest ISO that is on your camera. Oh remember to shut the IS off if your camera or lens has it.

My Pentax has IS in camera....and I have to say it is really good IS.......although not a good thing to test as often as I do.

As a starting point.....point your camera toward some trees and move your camera. You can move your camera both up and down.....but I have found I get better results if I start at about half way up on the trees and just move the camera in a downward motion. Try to eliminate as much of the sky from your view finder at possible at the starting point. If you get to much sky in the shot....it usually shows up as bright white and overpowers the photo.

I see you have a real interest in this type of photography. I hope you try this and show your results here. If you have anymore questions, just ask. This type of photography is really fun.

Hi Alan, The first one was a tree I singled out on a hillside....on a trail.
The second was just a field of long grass. The third was the trail with filtered light.

Glad to hear you like these.

Hey Y,

Cool stuff here! I am digging them all. That first one is so cool with that single tree. It almost feels like an Indian Petroglyph with the way the minimal details of the tree come through.

So a question... what are you doing with your focus on these? Is the subject in focus? Also when moving the camera at what point are you pressing the shutter? Do you start the camera movement and then press the shutter, or do you not do any camera movement until you press the shutter button?

Inquiring minds want to know...

I like these a lot. Go figure, but the second and third are especially interesting to me. So many possibilities for being creative... nicely done indeed!

Hey Ray, Hope you show the results here.

Jim, Yes you FOCUS on the subject

, before you start moving the camera. As for when to start moving the camera. Depending on the effect you are going for. You can do it either way. For the second shot, I started moving the camera first then clicked. For the other 2 I started the camera movement at the same time as clicking.

Something that I have noticed. You get better results if you follow the contour of the subject in comps such as long grass or mass flower garden shots. This doesn't work for everything, but I found I personally liked the results better on these particular subjects. What really makes this type of photo work is to get some depth. Without depth you just have a flat photo, the same as in any regular shot without depth.

Guy mentioned in his thread that you will get some strange looks when shaking your camera or swinging it above your head or what ever crazy thing you can think of to get some fun and different results for your photos. You have to remember this is fun....you have to laugh right along with them.

Ed, I will be looking forward to yours and Simon's results.

Thanks David, I am glad you like these. Hope you keep posting yours here as well.
