Hooked on You
This was the project last weekend – new clothes poles in the back yard. Last spring (2012) I had to pull up the old clothes poles to make room to dig a new line from the well. When I went to re-plant them one of them snapped in half. I suppose they were due to be replaced anyway, they were here when I bought the house 19 years ago.
This year was the year to get the new ones into the ground. I dug the holes and then the water came. And it came. And it came. It wasn’t until last weekend that the ground finally was dry enough for me to get to work. Everything turned out well. Clothes were dried this weekend and nothing fell over.
I thought I would try a new project – images using the square format. I liked how my Monochrome Winter project went this year and I needed something to keep me exploring outside my comfort zone of landscapes. Hopefully I’ll learn something along the way…

Motion Panning
I completely forgot about getting some images and a post together for Scott’s latest assignment: Summertime. He will be posting a summary soon and I encourage you to check out the contributions. Not only does Scott keep busy on his Views Infinitum site but he also curates a daily photography theme on Google+ called InMotion Thursday. These would be images that show motion through either panning with the subject or slow shutter speeds to convey a sense of movement. Check out one of Scott’s posts for more info (Panning in Motion).
A couple of weeks ago when I was up at Oneida Lake at Sylvan Beach I decided to try out some of the techniques in panning that I have read. I made sure to get my landscapes captured before heading over to the amusement park with my 35mm f/1.8 lens for some panning and ‘street’ type images. I won’t say it was a complete success, Scott definitely makes it look easier than it is, but I did like a few of the images I came home with. This is a fun way to capture unique images and I know I will be looking for more opportunities to use the technique.
