I grabbed this shot while out on a neighborhood walk today. For fun, I tweaked it mercilessly in post.

Rainy day abstraction
It’s a rainy day here in the Bay Area, so for photo fun I went to the patio and worked up an Orton “movement effect” image. It took a few shots to get a look I liked, but this one is a keeper.
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm IS USM at 70mm. 1.3 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 200.

Orton abstract
Today while I was downloading IOS5 for my iPhone (took forever!), I went out in the yard to practice the Orton “movement technique.” I learned about the technique–carefully and deliberately moving the camera while the shutter is open–after listening to Michael Orton on the current Photography.ca blog podcast. This image of the underside of our rosebushes is a first attempt and was the 14th shot (out of 20) I took during the shoot. It’s definitely tricky to get a good image.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 38mm. 4 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 200.
