Delights


I've been having fun playing with some digital manipulations with my camera. I find if I put camera in continuous mode...make a little staged area ....then click on camera during continuous mode then ever so slightly make either a flourished motion or fast flick motions I get some very interesting color fields and images. Here are a few...More on the experiments later. The first image was of a pumpkin with chrysanthemum.
Here you can see the flourish motion that I made while taking the pictures. It was a candle with some green and purple crystals.

Yes...I've been trying out various motions to see what would happen. If I move too fast I get swirls...ever so slightly and you get some interesting stuff happening.
I do little set ups with colors that I like or textures. WHen I have something like crystals or beads which catch the reflection of say a candle you can get some nice flourish motions.

I was pretty obsessed with this for about a week before I left Maine. I didn't get much else done!

Vicky,
I enjoy all your photos and calligraphy. But these shots are awesome. What kind of camera do you have?

BTW it was nice seeing Karen again in your photos.

Hi Toni
Thanks. I do like taking photos.

I only have a nikon cool pix 5mpixel
I think I may upgrade to an 8mpixel but not sure if I might want to go with a real fancy prosumer camera....Need more info.
What do you use. It's always helpful to hear what other artist use and like and why....

YEs...had a fun but quick hike with Karen and Matt! It's a great hike in the Superstitions!

I have a Fugi FinePix my husband got for me for Christmas at least four years ago.
It is only a 2 mpixel but it has served me well for what I have used it for.
Not great for the landscape shots though.
We will see how next year goes if I can afford a new one along wit everything else i want. ;) thanks for the info.
