Wonderful art, Art! The color is just gorgeous. I know you explained it but I didn't understand it. What is this?

It's great having you back among us!

All the best,

Endre

Hi Karen - thanks - glad you like the colors.
Mostly the colors are just what happens when selecting a neutral grey area in curves.
I don't mess with my colors much, I like my shots to be almost strictly in-camera captures with standard photo editing in CS or Nikon Capture editor.

See my response to Endre about how I do these.

Hi Endre -

I have been specializing in this technique of creating abstracts using motion blur techniques developed over several years. To begin, I used to take up to 4 gigs of images just to get one I was happy with. Now, I try to control the process. I think of it as sculpting light, actually grabbing it and pulling it along or pushing it or both as the case may be. Controlled panning along a prescribed path at variable frame rates and capture times is more like it.

At this point, I build machines, robots if you will and control the movement of the camera precisely while taking multiple or sequential exposures. It's really just all about the same things we are all concerned with: light, positioning, careful exposure and a carefully managed color workflow. I'm trying to master the process and I enjoy making machines and systems that enable me to more carefully control my shots.

Here's one of the robots I use and am working on (when I have time) (no I'm not a robotic specialist, just a sculptor who has an idiot/savant side in my brain).

Thanks for your kind words Endre - you are always such a gentleman.

Regards,

/\rt

The only thing more spectacular than the image is the robot! This is fascinating. Do you have a website for your other work. My wife is a designer and always looking for something new.

I agree. The picture is great. But, I am facinated by the robot machine. It would be great to watch you in action with your camera and machines. Thanks for sharing with us.
