This month's photography club's speaker demonstrated motion trails technique. Here's my attempt using the pool table. Not nearly as poetic as the dancers that he photographs.

The base exposure for this image can be found here. In addition to the HDR work, the image has been extensively manipulated in CS5 to address the keystoning and to remove a substantial amount of street architecture, namely the telephone wires and street lamp and a roof aerial, and the two cars in front of the garage.
A detailed review of my processing of this image can be found here.

Playing with a early 1980's 35-105mm minolta lens I got off ebay and noticed that it is quite sharp and good color.The macro switch seemed to work well in this pic also.

Another light painting shot I did for the Night Photography theme at 52 in 2015. This is a moonflower. They only bloom at night. When I was out last night around 7:30 taking this, there were only four blossoms open on the vine on the fence. By morning there were 25 beauties open. We love these flowers.
My alternate shot for the week.
8 second exposure and lit with a little flashlight I picked up at the hardware store.
Its one of those weeks that fly by and before you realize, you ran out of time.
So I had to settle for this, not a great one. Still, it tells a story.
As you can see, our puppy is growing, fast. He is about the same height as Cara now.
And slowly she is deciding he is ok. She hardly has a choice though, he will lie down where she is.
But I am definitely getting the idea she is starting to like him.
The ultimate test will be when we have the fence up. Cara is known for chasing the boys all over the place. And I kind of hope she will start doing that again over here, with Lehto.
It will be interesting to see who is faster. She is very fast, he still has a lot of growing to do.
But no matter what, I think we are in for some fun the moment the fence is up.
And I will be there, camera in hand.

We all very much enjoyed our week at Grandmom's but Olive was so happy to be back home. She missed her toys. I feel like she grew a month in that short week's time and when we got home she was ready to show off all her new skills. When I look at her now, I see less baby than ever before. Her already present personality seems to be growing by the minute. I see the joy and excitement in her face now when we show her something new and that makes us want to show her everything! I hope this enthusiasm for new experiences stays with her. One of our biggest goal as parents is to raise her to be curious.
With this is mind, I've struggled to give her the freedom and environment she needs to explore and challenge herself. It's hard to let her out of my sight when I've been hovering nearby for so many months but I know it's important to let her crawl around that corner. This weekend we worked on totally baby proofing the downstairs so we can begin to let go a little more. I've had to remind myself that you don't always have to follow the rules when it comes to making the right decisions for your child. A small example of this is how we are handling Gymboree. For months I've been taking her from station to station, as you're supposed to. Now that she's more confident in getting around, I let her explore while I stand back at a distance. It's fun to see what interests her and what she'll choose to do. Sometimes I worry that I look like an uninvolved mom or that I'm not following the rules but I've realized that Olive needs to do things at her own pace and that if I follow her lead more, she'll flourish.
