Whoooosshhhhhh

The sound the Enterprise makes when it whizzes past you. At least, that is what the classic Star Trek show suggested, with its opening credits sequence. Of course, sound is not really carried in space, but a silent ship doesn't quite have the same impact...

My entry for #MotionBlur, Macro Mondays' theme for March 8, 2021. I have to say, this one almost got the better of me, as my early attempts at panning, well, didn't really pan out. But I finally had the "A-ha!" moment when I realized my tripod allowed me to rotate the camera, instead of moving it manually. Only with that technique was I able to capture those light rays AND the relative focus obtained by stopping the camera before the camera's curtain closed. Once again, I learned something new, thanks to well thought-of themes that often take me outside my photography comfort zone. Being part of this group is really an enriching experience.
