A photo from the weekend... This is a departure from my usual macro stuff. I experimented with zooming out as I pressed the shutter on a handful of images, and this was my favorite one.
Hi Mel! Thanks, It was handheld, which is kinda tough. I'd like to try more of these with a tripod (didn't have it with me at the time). Honestly, I was inspired to do this because the background had some distracting suburban remnants (street sign post, power line), but I liked the color and light and wanted to convey that.
Actually, I think it probably turned out cooler because it was handheld! The subtle curviness of the streaks (most noticeable in the white highlights) gives it a more natural look that I think would probably get lost if it were a tripod shot (otherwise it might look like you ran the photo through Photoshop's Radial Zoom filter :))
Ha! I thought of that. These days with the preponderance of cheezy lens flares and drop shadows out there in the world, I always feel like I need to put a big sign on my stuff, saying "No this is not a Photshop effect!"
Oh, thanks for the comment on the avatar too. Sophie was still a puppy when that was taken, but in my totally biased opinion I think she's still the cutest pug ever.
