Autumn thingy (caution severe creative alert on this one)

Bear with me here, as this was a bout of experimentation again.

This effort involved locating a suitable tree branch - shapely and with good leaf cover behind, and then with camera on tripod and lens collar loosened, rotating the camera around the lens axis whilst zooming at exactly the same time with a longish exposure.

If you dont like this all I can say you'd like even less the ones that DIDN'T work!

All good fun, and you learn a lot about exposure, camera/subject movement, and the serious limitations imposed by the human wrist's inability to rotate 360 degrees.

Different and successful John, like it.

It works for me

Great idea John but I guess I would prefer a little more of the tree clearly id'd o/w it could be anything abstract and whilst I love abstract ideas and images I sort of feel I need to be able to guess what it is or what it means, however never stop experimenting

Made me dizzy when I looked at this image,but I do really like it,very nice colours/patterns John

I like this, definitely works for me. Have you experimented with cropping so that the focal point is off center?

Now this I like. Very creative and well captured.
Superb!!!

Very nice, love the colour and subtle pattern. Works for me!

I'm amazed at the things you experiment with John. Once again, it is a nice abstract but I have to agree with Paul Hobson in that I would prefer the actual subject to be more identifiable.
