Ancient History

Kind of interesting...at any rate, something different.

I found this oddity back in my 2004 files. I'm guessing it was one of my first ignorant attempts at panning BIF. I soon learned about increasing SS!
No processing other than comp and NR, so I guess it doesn't belong in Photo Art.

1/60 sec, f/4
Mode: Av
Metering: Multi-segment
Exp comp: +2/3

Looks unfortunately like some of my more recent attempts, Sandy.

I think this is kind of interesting also. It's got a real abstract feel to it.
Neat. :wavey:

It has more of an artsy feel to it. I like it.

The thumbnail sure grabs your attention Sandy. I like these kind of shots. They are very difficult to do properly where you get the head of the bird in relative focus while the rest of the bird goes about getting all blurry. The colors of the bird and the background are very complimentary. A neat shot Sandy. I have one of an osprey that has a shutter speed of 1/50th of a second with trailing water drops that are very long....and odd looking. I've never shown it to any one but I kind of like it. You made me remember my poor attempt at this kind of shot. It's that time of year when the shooting is tough and we are looking for something to post. Glad you came across this one Sandy. :toast:

Sometimes we can get the loveliest images even when just playing around, or starting out, or almost by mistake. Pretty "accident!"
