Continuing to experiment with using movement in my images. Here the subject, rather than camera or software, is providing the movement. This is a tree in our neighbour's garden being blown about by the winds attributed to the backend of Hurricane Gonzalo. The tree has bright yellow leaves which give off a fantastic glow when lit by sunlight and are even more impressive when set against dark skies.

On technique, I forced a longer exposure of 4 seconds using a neutral density filter (I think ND8) and shot from a tripod. No filters applied here either, just SOOC.

Im afraid my scanner couldnt quite handle the size of this one, and as such poor little fishy's backend didnt quite make it, because it was either get the fishy's backend in, and lose the head, or get the head in , and lose the backend, and well, i dont think it would have made sense otherwise, which is a shame, because the backend looks great i think, very curly with some lines i really like, so you will all have to just imagine the backend - which could be fun i guess, and makes it interactive!!!

This is the backend of the same customized rumble seat converted for SPOOS. In the rumble seat you can see Gunther telling Barbie, Cooper, Clancy and Rio, "Let's get ready to rumbleeeeeeeeee , the car hop's here with our order of Red Hot Bones."

Denna's website was built with content in mind, but not the way most sites are. It doesn't use a backend CMS or publishing system, but instead gathers up Denna's content from sites like Flickr, Upcoming and Ma.gnolia, and then presents them here as well, reusing the data that she's been creating all along. Simple, smart, and easy. And very well designed on top of it all. For more on how it was designed and built, read the colophon (trust me, it's worth it).

****************************************************************************************************

You are invited to stay and browse through my stream. Here's a quick introduction to my little corner of Flickr:

Automobile Photographs: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)

Central Illinois (excluding Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "countryside") photographs are grouped by county.

Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.

The Illinois State Fair: My collection of photographs of the Illinois State Fair. The fair offers something for everyone. Grab a corn dog and lemon shake-up, and come take a look!

Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.

In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:

Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.

Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.

Although this beautiful wagon has some added Bel Air trim, the only Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Station Wagon in 1955 was the Nomad. Chevrolet's other 2-Door Station Wagon offerings were the 150 and 210 Handyman, while the 150 and 210 4-Door wagons were called the Townsman.
