I’ve had fun experimenting with the illusion of movement by creating a “Flower Burst”. I used a zoom technique to transform still life into funky artworks! I used an 18 – 200mm telephoto lens, ISO 200 F25 1/4 second shutter speed. This is the ‘zoomed-out’ movement.
Softer colours; the same settings but a zoom-in movement.
Here are the roses …. it was interesting to see how the colours translated into variated hues.
The next sequence – “Liburnum Kaleidoscope” is a creation drawn from the exquisite liburnum bower at Hampton Court which I discovered last spring when visiting the UK. I lingered long in that tunnel surrounded by the heavenly perfume and colour and loved the acid yellow.
Camera settings – ISO 200 F25 Shutter speed 1/25 and camera twist while depressing the shutter turned the scene into a patterned kaleidoscope.
…. and a second shot, using a slightly faster twist, but slower shutter speed – 1/4. This is one of my favourite ‘mind’s eye’ shots.
very cool. Last one looks like a swirl of paint.
Thanks CTB!

Cool… thanks for the tips… I’m gonna try… 😉
Thank you for the link AJ. Glad to know you still have a soft spot for your former home. I enjoyed a ramble around your page… and now am curious to read more on your short stories, (being a fan of that genre). I shall check out the collection on Kindle….
