Compelling. How’d you do it?

Like so many things – by accident. I was trying to get that effect with lots of blur and the main subject caught clearly. This is the shot where I came the closest. So I took it and processed around the color and motion.

These work best for me when there is an identifiable image being abstracted, like this one, than the pure blurs. But that’s just me.

At some point in the process those pure blurs cease being photography and become graphic art, I know. Not sure where that point is exactly, but this one is still mostly photography in that what you see is primarily the result of what I captured in the camera.
These days I’m trying to experiment as much as I can so I can learn. This recent set of images out of the Bolder Boulder shoot are interesting because they mostly emerge from screw-ups. I had this body of shots that weren’t what I was trying to do, so I started looking at them differently and asking myself what they might yield if I let go of the fact that I hadn’t gotten what I was after.
