Or intentional camera movement with a compact camera!
The camera club at work has set the challenge of Drag Blurs and Radial Zooms, and while the latter needs a CSC or SLR with zoom lens, the thought was that those with compact cameras could achieve the former, so I set out to prove it!

The Basra Compact, a flagship partnership to revive the economy in southern Iraq
Basra, 05 May 2015 – The authorities of Basra and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) today signed a flagship agreement, the Basra Compact, aiming at strengthening participatory and accountable governance and reviving the economic activity in the southern governorate, which is not just oil-rich but needs to invest in its human capacity and private sector development. Protecting the cultural and ecological heritage of the Mesopotamian Marshlands is also a priority.
Despite being the richest governorate and hosting the main port in Iraq, Umm Qasr—the only shipping hub in the country—Basra is one of the most affected by poverty and chronic unemployment with 16.1% of the population living below the poverty line of US$ 2.5 per day and facing staggering challenges in terms of access to services.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Basra authorities outlines future cooperation in the areas of decentralization, financial management and budget execution, environment protection, private sector development including micro, small and medium enterprises, and supporting the governorate’s 5-year strategic planning.
“Working with local partners is a fundamental element of national ownership,” the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and UNDP Resident Representative, Lise Grande, said. “This translates into UNDP’s support for the local network of the Global Compact promoting responsible business practices in the areas of gender, human rights, labour standards, environment, service delivery and anti-corruption,” she explained.
UNDP has nearly 40 years of experience in Iraq leading the UN’s development work, providing knowledge and practical expertise. In its long-term engagement with the government and the people of Iraq, UNDP focuses on inclusive participation, accountability, access to justice, women’s empowerment, security sector reform, decentralization and private sector development. In particular, UNDP supports the government’s 4-year development plans (2014-2017).

Before the holiday I was worried that the Classic Compact would be too small - but it was fine! Bedrooms seemed the same size as countless previous mobile homes and the compactness of the living space more than made up for by the enormous deck. Would definitely stay in one again

"Queenston is a compact rural community and unincorporated place 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of Niagara Falls in the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. It is bordered by Highway 405 to the south and the Niagara River to the east; its location at the eponymous Queenston Heights on the Niagara Escarpment led to the establishment of the Queenston Quarry in the area. Across the river and the Canada–US border is the village of Lewiston, New York. The Lewiston-Queenston Bridge links the two communities. This village is at the point where the Niagara River began eroding the Niagara Escarpment. During the ensuing 12,000 years the Falls cut an 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) long gorge in the Escarpment southward to its present-day position.
In the early 19th century, the community's name was spelled as Queenstown.
Queenston marks the southern terminus of the Bruce Trail. The cairn marking the trail's terminus is in a parking lot, about 160 metres (520 ft) from General Brock's Monument on the easterly side of the monument's park grounds." - info from Wikipedia.
Late June to early July, 2024 I did my 4th major cycling tour. I cycled from Ottawa to London, Ontario on a convoluted route that passed by Niagara Falls. During this journey I cycled 1,876.26 km and took 21,413 photos. As with my other tours a major focus was old architecture.
Find me on Instagram.
The first three weeks of sporadic use of the premium compact Fujifilm X100VI. In the meantime, here are some photos of architecture (and cats). In the next few days, I'll also post a few portraits.
First impressions are very positive. The colors are excellent, as I expected, but above all, the experience, thanks to the rangefinder viewfinder, is reminiscent of using film cameras, offering a healthy 'detox' from mirrorless systems.
The first drawbacks? The menu is complicated, but I've always used Sony or Pentax, and the autofocus is somewhat inaccurate and hesitant. However, this is likely a user error on my part, as I’ve been happily using vintage manual focus lenses for years.

By "zooming" in on Mizar it is possible to clearly see its companion Alcor. Still not quite possible to see that Mizar also has a very close double.

Use vignetting in a photograph today. Either add it in post (easier) or do it in camera via lens or lighting (harder). #ds381 www.dailyshoot.com - Created by shooting through the hole of a compact disc. :)
