Impressions of Spring

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted April 12, 201189 views9 comments
Hello everyone! This is my first post in the Photo Art forum. I've been out chasing spring color and decided to get outside my comfort zone photographically speaking by creating some intentionally blurred shots hoping to create an impressionistic result. I would appreciate hearing your comments and suggestions on this my first offering. Thanks in advance!

5d, 24-70 @ 70mm, 2 sec @ f22, ISO 100, Vari-ND at 3/4, HH single exp.

Nice result, Wayne. I like the bold verticals that are softened by the blur and by the pastel colors.

Welcome to the Photo Art Gallery Wayne. The pink with the warm tones makes for a very peaceful image. Really nice work. Can't wait to see more. Great job with the camera blur. :wavey:

I'd say you did very well. The soft swatches of horizontal color against the strong verticals creates some nice tension.

Wayne I never tier of this sort of images, I love the soft pastel movement. These sorts of images always remind me of being a kid laying in a field watching the trees sway in the wind! You could shot hundreds of these and each one would be a unique favorite!

Love this—composition, colors, overall spring-like feel.
