Fun looking at what happens when objects fly by the camera.
Mike
Father and son collaboration
Our photographic art is a kinetic motion study, from the results of interacting with my son A.J and his toys.
He was born severely handicapped much like a quadriplegic. On December 17,1998. Our family’s goal has always been to help A.J. use his mind, even though he has minimal use of his body.
A.J. likes to watch lights and movement. One of the few things he can do for himself is to operate a switch that sets in motion lights and various shiny, colorful streamers and toys that swirl above his bed.
One day I took a picture of A.J. with his toys flying out from the big mobile near his bed like swings on a carnival ride. I liked the way the swirling objects and colors looked in the photo.
I wanted to study the motion more and photograph the whirling objects in an artful way, I wanted my son A.J. to be a part of it. After all, he’s the one who inspires me. When A.J. and I work together on our motion artwork, A.J. starts his streamers and objects twirling, I take the photographs.
Activating a tiny switch might not seem like much to some, but it’s all A.J. can do. He controls the direction the mobile will spin, as well as when it starts and stops. The shutter speeds are long, and sometimes, I move the camera and other times I hold it still.
I begin our creation with a Nikon digital camera. Then I use my computer with Photoshop to alter the images into what I feel might be an artistic way. Working with Photoshop, I find the best parts from several images and combine them into the final composite photograph. I consider the finished work to be fine art. The computer is just the vehicle that helps my expressions grow.
I take the photographs and A.J. adds the magic. It’s something this father and son do together. After I’ve taken a few shots, I show him the photos in the back of the camera. When the images are completed, I show him from a laptop. He just looks. He can’t tell me whether or not he likes the images, but he’s always ready to work with me again.
It offers me my only glance into A.J.’s secret world. We’ve built a large collection of images and I hope the motion and color move you as much as they do me.
A.J. inspires me to work harder to understand my life in the areas of art, photography, people, spirituality, and so much more. He truly sets my mind in motion and helps me find the beauty in everyday things.

For me, this isn't terribly Macro, but this tiny little translucent toadstool and its companion were absolutely stunning. They are still pretty small, as you can see from the clover leaves in one of the photos. Narrow DOF was order of the day to make the most of their flimsy character.

Known for its snail fossils entombed within the agate, the stone is brown, translucent to semi-transparent, and found in the Green River formation in Wyoming. It is the most popular stone from that formation. The white snail fossils sharply contrast the dark brown background. This is where the person who discovered the stone made the mistake in the naming of the stone.
Turritella Agate rough is scarce - if it’s a stone that you like to keep available, buy it in quantity now.
2. The snails preserved in the stone are actually *not* Turritella. They’re of the Elmia tenera species. The stone was named before detailed inquiry, and the name stuck.
A friend of mine, having met through "flickr" boxed me up some rough rock Turritella and told me to give it a go!! It has turned out to be quite a party favor!! Love it! Thank you Jeffery!!
A cosplayer wearing translucent wings! Sitting near a source of strong backlighting! The true connoisseur goes to a big con hoping to see this, not the 3,000 seat Marvel Movie panel.
(Assuming he or she is into photography, and remembered to bring his or her good external flash for fill.)
She's dressed as a character from gaming, I'm guessing? Because I'm pretty good at recognizing comic book characters, she doesn't look anime, and any character that's left is usually a gaming character.

Beginnings of a new leaf, as seen under my macro lens on Day 35 of my spring regrowth of the Norway maple project. This will be the next to last Day 35 image for now, as it is now Day 55 and I am falling well behind all the ensuing changes that have occurred. The trees are now in full leaf and seed and the flowers have mostly shed. We will pick up the pace very soon.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with my project, over the past several weeks, I have been following the annual spring growth and development of the Norway Maple tree, from their winter buds to the formation of the maple flowers, winged seeds and characteristic maple leaves, through a combination of telephoto, macro and microscope images. This project combines my interests in biology and photography and hopefully will be educational and enjoyable to all of you.
Here is a link to all of the images and to more detailed explanations about the day-to-day changes that were being seen: www.flickr.com/photos/sewerdoc/sets/72157626656335714/
