Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

Albeit supremely risky this is one of my favorite ways to produce abstract photographs.

Built in the early 19th century Rakes Mill Pond was the brainchild of Jarman Rakes. Rakes Mill Pond is a dammed up pond and creates a swamp similar to what a beaver dam would do. The pond is located just past Mile Marker 163 going south on the Blue Ridge Parkway. You can pull out and park on site. Walk down to the dam and put your hand in the water. You will see a 15 foot water fall.
The Lancia Sibilo is a 1978 concept car designed and built by Bertone, and based on the production Lancia Stratos, but four inches longer.
The car's main characteristics were its sharp, aerodynamic lines and plastic windows which were merged seamlessly into the bodywork, creating a uniform structure. A small circular portion of the side windows could be moved electrically. A single large windshield wiper vertically swept the windshield. Retractable headlights with circular lenses garnished a sharply raked front end.
Inside, the steering wheel was anatomically designed to fit the natural grip of the hand, and also house switches for the warning lights and a loudspeaker. Digital instrumentation was placed in the middle of the dashboard near the point where the dashboard and the windshield meet, for distracting the driver's eyes as little as possible from the road.
The vehicle was painted a lighter brown after its debut at the Turin Auto Show in 1978 following feedback regarding its extremely dark brown color. The wheels were also re-painted from bright yellow to light gold, and a Lancia badge was added to the hood.
First weekend of Spring and all the fallen branches have been cut & bundled. Flower beds and the lawn have been raked clear of dry leaves. A great start to the season it was indeed!

I liked this one of the three rakes the best....so I decided to put it into my stream :) Have a great Sunday!
Oh, and another thing I like to do - well actually my wife loves to instruct me to do - is the garden!! Just thought I would (she asked me nicely) to rake up fallen petals and flowers from the last couple of days downpour of rain!

A hay rake is an agricultural rake used to collect cut hay or straw into windrows for later collection (e.g. by a baler or a loader wagon).
NO GRAPHICS AND NO INVITES TO GROUPS PLEASE!
I over-raked - didn't take the head tube angle change into consideration, so needed to loose about 8 mm of rake. This tool wasn't designed to do this. But the lunar excursion module on the Apollo 13 mission wasn't designed to get astronauts home either. A bit o' the ol' American ingenuity...

SPJ based WDM-2 loco - 18639 is shunting the rake of Jaynagar (JYG) bound 55515 (Samastipur-Jaynagar) Passenger at its tow !!
There are a few items that belonged to my grandparents that I have kept and used regularly. This rake is one of those things. I love this old metal rake, with its old wooden handle, and I prefer it to any newer rake that is stored in my garage. So I am giving this its own portrait.

Rakes Mill Pond is a dammed up pond and adjacent swamp located on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia. A mill built in the early 19th century once stood here. It was the brainchild of Jarman Rakes who promoted business by stocking his pond with trout and letting customers fish it while he ground their wheat.
Has to be viewed large !

Don't just press L - you won't see the animation.

If you wonder why all those wires and loudspeakers: those rakes had microphones attached to them, so that each scratch made on different surfaces, got amplified and played through the loudspeakers. They also had other sound-producing gadgets all over their bodies, so even when they threw away the rakes, they squeaked, barked, grunted, oinked and whatnot, with every move. :-)
Hmm, not a broom, but it looks like it. Happy Halloween
