I love to experiment...
… with new ideas.
For the Smile on Saturday group’s theme I love to… I struggled to choose because there are quite a lot of things I’m interested in: books, films, wine, ants, astronomy, botany, science, maths, physics, gardens, music, ballet… The list goes on, and it’s an odd one.
And that’s one of the problems. I’m interested in far too many things to become good at anything. But one thing that does come over quite strongly is that I like thinking about and playing with new ideas and easily get bored with things I understand.
I used to call myself an experimental photographer, though now I think that is a bit pretentious. In truth just I like messing about, trying things and seeing what happens if…
This image is one of those. The proper title is Totally ‘Armless Photography, but the group theme stipulated a different format for the title.
It is one of my many experiments in the realm of photography and visual pretty stuff. It’s taken earlier in the month at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford (one of those fantabulous British museums if ever you get a chance to go there). Not that you need to know that, but then you don’t need to read any of this either :)
I was refining my ATICMAS skills (that is the Advanced Technique for Intentional Camera Movement and Street photography :) ). Otherwise known as mucking about with wobbly camera photography here using innocent and hapless humanoid victims.
The Technique consists of setting up the camera (here I’m using the ickle little one) with some suitable slow shutter settings and wandering about while holding it at waist level and pointing and clicking at anything that takes my eye. Really ‘phisticated stuff. It’s part of an ongoing experiment combining street and wobbly photography. I get a lot of rubbish shots of course, but I'm relying on Mistress Serendipity to eventually make an appearance.
I nearly chucked this on in the bin, but something about it appealed. It’s of people on a staircase on the landing between two flights.
Thanks for looking. I hope you love doing things too. Happy Smiles on Saturday and 100x :)
