Bonaventure Hillside...

[Arthur Morris]

Everyday that I walked down the 1.8 mile hill to the boat on Bonaventure I looked at the lovely hillside with some rocks and lots of wildflowers. On my last day, I grabbed the 24-105 and made a few traditional image that I wound up not liking. I lowered the ISO to 50, chose the highest aperture, and created a few zoom blurs.

Canon 24-105 zoom lens hand held. ISO 50. Evaluative metering: 1/6 second at f/22. Used One-Shot AF and zoomed long to wide.

There is lots more on creating zoom blurs in ABP II.

Don't be shy; all comments welcome.

Sorry, it hurts my eyes. Maybe too much blur?? I love the colors, however.

[Julie Kenward]

It's a great zoom blur but I have to agree with Joanna...it's kinda freakin' me out a little bit! I threw my back out this past weekend and it reminds me of how I felt after my first dose of Tylenol 3 & vicodin!

I almost wonder what it would be like in a huge format...if the visual effect would be more stunning or less?

[Bill McCrystyn]

Well, Artie, I know your intentions were good and your creative juices were flowing but this one reminds me of a giant Porcupine.

Hmmmm, Wish you had used less amount of zoom for a more concrete view.Also, cropping the sky, it sort of looks better.

[Alfred Forns]

Agree with Fabs suggestions Evaluating these is not easy due to the strong zoom effect.... makes me dizzy !!! :)

[Arthur Morris]

Jeez, and to think that I liked this one! Thanks to all for sharing your honest thoughts. (At least it's not a bird image...) Perhaps the effect of dizziness that everyone is seeing is due to my using a shorter focal length zoom than normal (and having to zoom faster...)
