Grass Blur

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted November 11, 2013339 views9 comments
Trying to experiment with making blurs. I was out shooting some landscapes at sunrise and as the light changed and I was ready to go home, there was some blue stem grass that was still glowing in the sun light. I decided to try a blur before I went home. I was trying to get sun stars and forgot to change my aperture, hence the small aperture. I would like to find out if this works for anyone else. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

Richard - I've never been much on motion blur images, but this one is exceptional. The colors and cris-crossing lines make for a wonderful treat for the eye. I can envision this as a large framed print above a contemporary couch, or in a large business lobby. It has a very soothing effect on me.

This definitely works for me. I, too, can see this as a very large print. The color and lines are beautiful.
