Another experiment with the shallow DOF on seed pod of Chinese Junipers. Things look so different on close-up such as the central CW and CCW spirals and the bristles at the peripheral.

d90 50mm+36mm ET, 1/50sec F2.8 HH. Thanks for viewing and C&C appreciated.

Really creative - I would have thought this was made by zooming out during the exposure. I like the colors too

Fantastic "spin" there, Gary

- like that deep pink area used as the pivot and the white "spin" in the background.

Interesting view Gary. The close-up of the image and the shallow DOF really gives the feeling of rotation of movement. Well done and very creative.

Gary, I think this is a great experiment. My reaction is, "I don't know." I will come back and look further.

Cheers,

Carol
