Whirlpool in the haunted forest...

[pgriz]

A picture never lies, huh?

Only post-processing here is some sharpening, saturation adjust and resizing. Everything else is recorded by the camera as it happened. Got outa there as fast as I could...

Funky!

Is it slightly tilted or is that an optical illusion?

When the land starts whirling around you, it's hard to keep a level footing. ;-)

Says the Trickster herself. You were part of the inspiration for this, with your creative use of motion. STILL haven't totally figured out the moves you make (Hey! we're talking with the flowers!).

Nice one!

Thanks - was trying to do something similar to yours, but then the whirlpool started...

Actually there was. Winds were recorded to 100 kph (about 55 mph) the previous day. I was in the country checking to see what damage happened to our cottage. I'm leaving shortly for there with a chainsaw to get rid of some wind-fall.



All joking aside, trying to do a proper capture is damn difficult! I think I got maybe about 100 trying different things, and this one was the closest to semi-acceptable. But, it is a lot of fun trying something different. Need more practice.

Definitely windy! It's a really cool shot. Be careful out there.
