Throwback Thursday!!

[PixelRabbit]

This is the shot that started my Fine Art in Motion series. Shortly after I got my camera I was messing around with bracketing as we drove and the slowest shutter speed tweaked my interest, I got out of bracketing and set up for the right exposure with the slow speed and caught this tree, I was hooked.

Me, Derrel, as seen in the bathroom mirror on JUne 6,2007. Shooting with my Canon 5D with grip and 50mm f/1.4 lens. This was kind of back before the bathroom mirror selfie had really taken full flight.



At the time, this was sort of an "in joke" kind of shot among photography enthusiasts, and had been for several decades. Then it became a popular thing to do once smart phones made it super-easy. Weird how times change, and meanings change. This whole "photographer and his camera" thing dates back to a university photo course I took in 1982, where our instructor always advocated a tongue-in-cheek, cheesy shot like this, of ourselves posing with our camera with a wry grin...I waited about 25 years before I made one the way he suggested, and this is it.

With all the gruff on the Homeless & Hot thread, thought I'd post these. Swinging the camera around this guy appeared in my viewfinder and I snapped.

As he walked passed me, I think this is better composed with having a few seconds more to frame the shot.

From a TFP challenge two years ago (one room, ten things, available light only); the photos from this set were the first I posted here.
