Impressionistic maple

Impressionisticmaple2009

Well. Encountering a windy day 2 days ago and

working to capture the leaves blowing in the wind

emboldened me. I thought why not try a Freeman

Patterson technique and move the camera

while taking shots.

This is harder than one might think. The instinct

is to hold the camera still at the point of capture.

So one is moving the camera and instinctively

pausing and holding still at the shot one wants.

At any rate I got a shot I am pleased with.

I spotted this tree on a drive-by and

wanted to capture the 3 branches

overhanging the water. By moving the camera

side to side I landed an impressionistic shot.

See what you think.

Have a notice-nature-even-

for-a-moment kind of day.

Helen.
