Reed Blur

[Kerry Perkins]

I have a bunch of these in a series, but I kept coming back to this one for a theme post. Camera blur with the 400mm, f/32@1/15 second. Did a levels adjustment to correct for a little bit of underexposure. :c3: If it weren't for the theme rule, I would evict the brown blob in the left part of the image.

Kerry, When I first looked at this I saw a soft color palette-the more I look at it the more I start to see all these interesting lines, neat!:S3:

Kerry, I really like this....a very interesting patchwork blur. I don't expect to see sharp angles and lines in a blur.

Isn't clean up cloning allowed? I've always considered minor cloning as a standard adjustment.

Thanks guys!

Ken, my take on "straight out of the camera" is that there is no manipulation of the image. I consider adjustments like sharpening, color balance, etc. to be "standard" adjustments. Cloning is a change to the arrangement of the pixels and seems to me to go against the concept. Maybe I'm just too literal. :c3:

Hi Kerry, I love the vertical and horizontal lines and the tone to this image. Very cool Blur!:S3:

[Scott Vincent]

Kerry, that's pretty cool - love the lines and angles - really abstract - nice!

Cool Tech-no-Green Abstract, Kerry! Sort of reminds me of a shadow of a building. For me, the "brown blob" is not a problem. Neat to see this type of effect from a blur. TFS :S3:

This is a cool blur result, Kerry! You really created an interesting pattern with many layers to it. Well done! :S3:
