Thank you, George. It was a bit of an experiment. I need to stretch myself and try different things. I feel a big change coming. I have new camera, you know… And it’s a bit daunting. (I didn’t use it for this shot.) I need to just launch myself and go with whatever happens, I think, and not worry about what comes out in the beginning.
I think, you used this technique three times. First in a rash green woods,
second with poppy, getting painting like an effect.
And amazingly, certainly you got a composition, a painter would have had painted.
Yet still, I’m not sure how the lines maintain their baldness, without disintegrating,
whether it was because well focused or because of the camera’s image stabilizer ?
I like your choice to give almost washed off sepia tone to balance their baldness.
End result is beautiful. (Sorry, my click to [Like] doesn’t work)
You have an incredible memory! You’ve demonstrated this before, but WOW! You’re exactly right. I used this technique exactly on those occasions you’ve mentioned. I think the camera is in large part responsible for the focus that is maintained in the shot. I’m glad you like the end result. I debated about the the sepia tones, but when I saw the result, I felt they communicated precisely what I was aiming for. Thank you.
This is really painterly – amazing what you can do with a camera! I’m actually considering doing some painting and might try and work from a photo to begin with, any tips how to get this effect?
I just set my camera (a Panasonic Lumix LX5, in this case), to a very slow shutter speed (as slow as possible to keep things in focus with the light that you have available), and set my aperture to f8, I think (but you can experiment with the aperture to achieve the effect you like), and just slowly moved my camera up the trees. I took lots, and ended up with lots of fun, ghostly sorts of images. They work well in black & white, too. I can imagine it would be fun to work from something like this for a painting! Good luck!
Thank you, Carissa, for these very nice words. I like trying this effect out in different places and with different filters. Usually, it doesn’t turn out as I envision, but sometimes it matches what I’m seeing in my imagination.
Nice tones and lines in this abstract, Lemony. There is tension there too. And the suggestion of motion. Very nice.

Oh I really like this!
Thank you, Anne Rose. I’m glad for your feedback, and for your visit!
Love the tones and atmosphere in this
Thank you, Inga!
I’m glad someone is seeing some sunshine! We haven’t seen much of it here for 10 days or more.
Yes, it’s time for spring, isn’t it?!
Ooohh…I really love this!
Thank you! I’m so glad you like it!

Lovely effect, Melanie. I’ve played with this technique a bit, but always with color. This is really nice. You inspire me.

Beautiful.
