These were the only blurs that I did during our recent (weekend past) trip to Sandy Hook, NJ. The layers of water/ice followed by reeds followed by more water/ice and more reeds before finally reaching the sky just seemed to beg for a horizontal pan which helped eliminate some of the messiness while keeping and emphasizing the layers of color unfolding from front to back. Processing with Nik filters (Dfine, Viveza, Color Efex Pro and Sharpener Pro) brought out just enough reed detail in the reflections to accentuate the reediness.
Image made with my canon 50D and 24-70mm f/2.8L lens w/ Singh-Ray Vari-ND filter to help provide the longer exposures for the pan.
Loving the first image here. The detail in the reflection and the reeds is very nice.
I was wondering when you were going to post more Blurs…. I like the golden color – really warm!
Very cool Ed. I am wondering how a zoom blur would look like.
These are fun and yours turned out nice with just the right amount of detail IMO. Hint: Next week’s theme on BPN is ‘in camera effects.’
Both are great, although I prefer the first. I love the colors!
Nice colours and contrast, Ed. I wonder how it would look like if you moved the camera faster to get only 3 smoothly blurred stripes of colours. I’m not sure if it’s even possible with this scenery.
I like that first one the most. Very nice.
My comment was going to be along the lines of Tomas’–a little more blur and a little less vertical detail.
Hi Ed,
I love both of them. They are really like painting! I have to try that one day
