Implosion

Squared – SQ34

Earlier in the week I posted an image of a lilac blossom that was taken using in-camera multiple exposures. I had seen an article online about the technique and realized the menu system the article navigated to show how to achieve the effect was from a Nikon camera. I quickly checked my camera and sure enough I had the same option. I ended up grabbing the tripod and running outside which yielded the lilac image.

I can safely say I was hooked once I looked at the images I had captured. Last night I went out at sunset to grab a few pictures and decided to play again with the technique. This image was taken using three exposures and surprisingly was done hand held. I know I have a fascination with the dandelions but once they turn to seed I think the delicate structure is beautiful. They also lend themselves to a wonderful B&W conversion.

Milestone!

At some point during the past week I crossed over the 500 follower mark. I was humbled to reach this level of interest in my little photography blog and I would like to express my thanks to all of you. A few years ago when I started ‘blogging’ I wasn’t sure what I was doing or where I was going. I didn’t realize there was this form of creativity inside of me that needed to be expressed. I have found quite a few online friends that I enjoy interacting with and look forward sharing more with you as I continue down this path.

Thank you all for being here with me!

And because I can do pictures better than words…
