Green Fog

The green fog is really a leafy young sapling. While I was in the woods, I spotted a deer standing on his hind legs taking a peek at me. He skedaddled. Of my three vertical motion blurs, which one is the best?

Piney Woods

Here is another attempt using the vertical motion blur. This was taken in a stand of spindly pine trees. Coppery pine straw covers the ground and an opening in the woods about 30 yards away shows the light green of muscadine leaves. There is still room for improvement, but the result is getting better (IMHO).

Ben’s Creek

A few weekends ago, Greenville hosted Artisphere, an outdoor arts festival. I saw a photographer with an interesting collection of what I think was a motion blur. Instead of the usual horizontal pan of people or things in motion, the pan was verticle and the subject was most often trees. You could do anything that is linear: tall grass, wicker, vines hair, etc. Here the result from my first effort. I think it has some potential. This was taken overlooking Ben's Creek near Reidville.

Shhhhhh

In Brookgreen Gardens, there is a zoo of animals native to South Carolina. This shot of an American Red Fox pup (vulpes fulva) is one you would never see in the wild.
