Okay.  So it’s really a Coke Float, not a Coke Afloat.  And okay. So, this is really more like an ice cream soda than a float.  But these challenges are sort of short notice.  And for anyone now saying, “Huh?”, try this link.

Always remember to give thanks to the birds . . . before you steal their food.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Bird Bath Blur (5) – Photography

This blur also works for large dog baths.  Just be sure your camera is water proof or, better yet, borrow someone else’s.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Back End Blur (4) – Photography

04/08/2015

If you find the secret settings that control split shutter speed mode in your camera, making the left side of the frame fire at 1/500 sec (or faster) and the right side of the frame at 1/100 sec (or slower), you can achieve back end blur like this.  Wait a minute.  “Is that the same model from yesterday?”  Oh.  Strike out the first sentence.  Never mind.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Cheap Model Blur (2) – Photography

04/07/2015

This is what happens when you try to save 5 peanuts on the model agency fee.  It’s the, “OMG! – What do I do now?” blur.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Blur (1) – Photography

04/07/2015

No fancy prose this week.  I actually could’ve used last week’s image again, it was a ghostly blur.  But as others have pointed out, we photographers produce a whole bunch of “creatively” blurred images that work with this challenge.  So here’s the first type of blur from me – Almost Blur.

When you’re almost in the right place, at the right time, with the right camera, right lens, right shutter speed, right ISO, right aperture and right focus – this happens.  If only I had been on the other side of the small trees.  Almost . . .

Weekly Photo Challenge – Ephemeral – Photography

03/28/2015

On cold wintry night when wind answers wolf’s howl, while lights flicker like fleeting fire flames, and barren branches cast eerie movement on frosted windows until fearful moon hides behind darkened cloud, with glass of Amontillado as last pixels fade, erasing words Vincent ushered from Poet’s beating heart, soon to be seen . . . nevermore, ephemeral souls departed, move cold draft on face and for digital sensors, leave trace.
