    Default Shorebird Footprints Fracted

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Aug 13, the morning of Denise's JBWR Creative Photography Workshop, dawned dark and gloomy so after trying and failing at creating intentional blurs of the shorebird flocks I got out the 24-105 and made some images of their footprints in the mud.

    Canon 24-105mm IS L zoom lens handheld at 58mm with the EOS-1D MIV. ISO 800. Evaluative metering +1 2/3 stops: 1/30 sec. at f/9.

    Don't be shy; all comments welcome.

    Artie, Please post the original, I just love it even though this version is awesome too. Great idea to add Fractalius to create a unique abstract.

    Artie, this is so unique...both times! The post with Fractalius applied reminds me of the frost you see on a window during a hard winter...wonderful curves and textures, those subtle shades of white...LOVE it. The second post is just as intriguing (memo to self...look down, not just behind!). Very nice abstracts.

    I've walked past similar "footprints" hundreds of times and never thought to photograph them. I love the original and the fracted version is wonderful as well. Very creative

    Great fracting of the footprints! I really like how the differences in the depth of the footprint show up in various shades of white to gray to black. One can just imagine the numbers of shorebirds moving through this patch of sand over time, each leaving bits of a footprint.

    Artie, I like them both - I think the original is a wonderful abstract on it's own with maybe some color enhancement of the purple/blues to make it brighter. The fract is a work of art
