New Forest Abstract Landscapes

[ChrisA]

Took these at the weekend in the New Forest, England.

Poor weather so I took abstracts of the autumn colours.

What do you think ?

I like the 2nd one. Reminds me of a painting. What editing did you do? Would you mind posting the original pic?

I was wanting to do one of these but I need a fluid mount head to get the nice fluid abstract motion like here :/

Thanks for the comments.

These are the original images. No post processing other than converting the raw and slight tweak on saturation, white balance.

I did these hand held. Stand still set ISO low (100) F16 - to give you about 1 sec of exposure, move camera slightly (I found vertically best).

i really liked them especially the second; since i am also into oil painting, really love this kind of works; i think you can build up a gallery of this genre

Thanks Frequency and Sisco for your comments. It is fun to do.

I thought I had above.

Camera - set to AV (Aperture mode)

Set a low ISO and high enough F stop to get the shutter speed to be about 1 second.

Focus on the trees or whatever you're taking. Take shot and whilst it takes move the camera slightly. I have found moving vertically upwards works for me.
