Notice the "1 second exposure". . .I was playing around at the park yesterday, trying for a really cool 1-second blur photo that might be challenge submission worthy, but couldn't come up with anything that I thought the discriminating voters would go for, so since you guys are much nicer than the voters, I decided to share it here. I really do like the photo, its just not quite up to snuff for a contest.
Its actually one bird in motion. They were so darn placid and quiet yesterday. No splashing around. No taking off in flight. Just floating around on a perfect spring day contented as could be to just float. Sigh. Its okay. It was fun trying. I keep trying to tell myself it is the process I enjoy too. :)
My goodness this is gorgeous! I would have hit the 10 button in a heartbeat! It's so dreamy, and has a storybook quality that's timeless! I haven't gotten anything for that challenge either, but if I'd gotten this I would have entered it for sure!
i try not to second guess the voters here. you have produced something that i think meets all the criteria and you might have done very well with this. the soft high key and comp is spot on. if you have another similar - enter it!
Sandy, I feel exactly the same way you do and have also tried some 1 sec shots to no avail. Tomorrow I might try shooting my favorite waterfall again and see how that turns out. The unfortunate part about the 1 second challenge is we're not used to setting our exposure to 1 second and keeping it there. It's very restrictive and severely limits the possibilities. However, I think what you have achieved here with the snow geese is exceptional. I only wish I could manage something half as nice as this. I think it will do very well if you do decide to enter it.
how beautiful and how sandy this image is ..
it actually looks like two birds .. love the gorgeous colours and dreamy quality .. WOW . !!!
& its so hard to gauge whether the voters are going to like something .. i think a lot of brilliant works of art dont get entered for fear of them being totally unappreciated .. this is one of those images .. i have no idea how it would have gone ... but would not have been surprised to see it on the first page .. :)
just had a look at your other comments .. but from experience the opinions in the side challenges dont always mimic opinions/votes in a real one .. :)
