fiber optic motion blur1

HMM... the theme for today, 3/8, is motion blur. at first i tried swinging a small cat keychain ornament and photographing it with my iphone-- FAIL.

so i moved back to my dear little canon 870 p&s and focused really up close to the fiber optic lights on my tree (with each shot i chose a cluster that was smaller than a quarter or at least a 50cent piece). that didn't go terribly well *until* i figured that the fireworks setting might slow down the lens..... i shot at least 60 of which i had to get rid of at least a third because they were overblown. this one appeals to me because it is so colorful, so i am choosing it for the posting. to achieve the motion here, i moved the camera from side to side..

 

.....AND i am 560 views away from hitting 9million views. i'm pretty sure the MM group participants will get me there and over :)

at 4:07am i am officially past 9M views :)
