Ok. . .I admit it. I have a secret LOVE for certain types of artsy blur photos. They are so much fun to shoot, and they have such a fun, festive feel to them. This is submitted in the spirit of our upcoming blur challenge. Course, the one I'm entering is nothing at ALL like this, so its okay.
These are girls in a belly dancing class at a yoga studio. The yoga studio is a tenant at our Pearl development, and I had to do some photo work there tonight for my job. So when I found out that they were doing belly dancing tonight at the yoga studio, I asked the owner if I could come in and take pictures. Her response: "Oh Honey. . .they looooove to show off. . .go for it" :)
This is so cool! This will sound goofy but it reminds me of those movies where people are just standing around and waiting to meet aliens lol and the space craft lights are swirling around. Perfect title for this.
Very nice Sandy! I love the effect of the lights creating the rectangular shape framing the back dancers. I rather like your blurry photo too! I've got a blurry outtake for the b/w side challenge myself, but I'll have to wait....Thanks for sharing this shot, it really is interesting.
I love the effect you have created here by zooming in. It is not too blurry, so although you can't see too much detail, you do get a sense there is a dance class taking place.
Never was a fan of blur, but seeing this and others (and trying some myself) I'm going to change my mind about blur. Nice effects and great clarity. Just as if I'm looking through a very clean window.
What a cool photo, it probably looks great in color as well. I've tried this zoom shot a couple of times but not with much luck. This one came out really well.
I really like the square look of the lights shooting right to the mirror. Did you zoom your lens in? That is cool. Turned an other wise lonely shot into something unique. I got to try this.
Sandy, I'm a fan of blur, too. One of my favorite challenge entries was a blur photo, and to date is my lowest scoring. I don't think many people here like blur. That being said, I love yours. The light trails are just great, and no, I haven't been smoking anything;-) How did you achieve this...zoom during exposure???
