I shot the local high school tennis tournament yesterday in the city park just down the street from where I live...

and on the walk back I came across this scene...

Do these count as 'art'?

 

[MrNewportCustom]

As far as I'm concerned, DS, that's art. Very nice!

Here's one of a few I shot in Pomona last night. It's my first attempt at timed exposure at night. 2 seconds at F3.5, 200 ISO.

I can feel the vibration!

Those high school sports shots are really great, QB. What sort of gear are you shooting with?

Thanks. I was using a Canon 30D and a Sigma 70-200mm/2.8. It's nothing TOO fancy, but still a professional model. A guy at the same meet was using a top-of-the-line Canon. I really can't see why one needs to rip through so many frames. The ratio was probably his 10 frames to my one! [huh]

The EX DG? Nice bit of glass, but the QC on them was terrible I had two which didn't pull focus at all before I got a good example.

Mine's stuck on a Nikon though.

Lee, try that 'tilt/shift' effect in Photoshop just for fun. It's meant for train shots.

"Tilt/shift"? I have Photoshop 7. I can't find it.

It's not an actual PS term. It's an effect created by PS...

[MrNewportCustom]

I get it now! "Tilt/shift", as in a 4X5 view camera or, to some extent, a Lensbaby.


Thanks!

I'm not sure if you would consider these art, but I enjoy making these.

 

[MrNewportCustom]

Yes, Freebird, I consider your work to be art. I think they're all very beautiful. The first one looks like an abstract circular saw blade, the second one looks like wheat, the third a Nautilus, the fourth a swirled-glass globe, and the fifth looks like a jellyfish. To me, anyway.

Here are a couple of (somewhat) abstracts from my latest foray into the desert to photograph trains.

Thank you for looking.

I saw these little ants on my flower buds yesterday and couldn't resist taking a few photos. I was surprised at how well they turned out.
