Wind in the Wildflowers

This is an idea I've been playing around with and I finally got a set I'm pretty happy with.

This is the first one I've edited, would love to hear your thoughts so I can use them when I work on the rest of them

I like it ! It is so hard to get it with camera and you just hit the mark. (TBH I think luck played big part in it) I tried many times impressionistic type of image, never succeeded. But you are right, camera movement is no good, the whole subject has to move, and then is a matter of just right shutter speed. Your pic looks like Van Gogh.

Thanks Timor and Charlie

Timor, Van Gogh, wow, thanks

It's tricky for sure, there is a lot you have control over but there is definitely another element that I rather call randomness as opposed to luck

I tried this many times by moving the camera and it always looked too deliberate and was missing the organic/natural quality that the wind gives it.

Interesting. Also though-provoking in terms of what effects that can give. Thank you for sharing this little experiment - I'm adding it to my "things to try when the conditions are right" photographic folder, right next to other flower pictures by Mishele, dreamy water scapes by Invisible, and a number of others, decrepit buildings (you, Invisible), geometric patterns and glass (from Bitter), stairs (manaheim), angry wasps (charlie), and so on. I also have to try some India pictures, but that may take some time before I can give Nandakumar some competition. eh, one can dream.
