Messing around with Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) today -- I have a slow shutter app in the iPhone which is useful for this kind of thing and it has been a while since I've played with it.

I really like this @Clix Pix. Then again I do tend to like abstracts.

Thanks, Lance! Yeah, I enjoy creating abstracts -- and I also love images like this one, a spiral staircase! Nicely done!

So , seeming to be largely rid of what my doctor called the 'New Year's Cough' ,I finally got to get out for a bit and play around with a new toy .....

Seeing Hugh's lenbaby shot prompted me to use my Sol 45 (with some macro filters). ?

Is that dust? Adds a beautiful touch to the photo. Ethereal shot. Thank you for sharing.

It's an overlay added in Photoshop. ?

More bubbles, sorry. So far only @kenoh has risen to the challenge!

Yeah and been found wanting! Hang on, are you being a sneaky monkey here? thats the lens ball in front of the monitor right? not through the lens at a planetoid sized bubble?

The other day when I was rummaging through a drawer looking for a UV Haze filter to fit on one of my new lenses I ran across a Tiffen Star filter that I've had for years and years. I thought, "hm...." and set it aside for later investigation. Last night I found that it indeed fits the 90mm, so decided to see what I could do with it and stepped out on the deck... Took a little experimenting and of course I really should've used the tripod, but I had fun!

Thought I'd got away with it...Lensball looking at a picture of a bubble cast onto my TV from the iMac.

Very creative.

Now THAT gives me an idea.....! LOL! I've used my monitor screen as a backdrop for images before -- fairly recently, in fact -- but hadn't thought about it with the lens ball or my larger crystal ball.

Yum.

I haven't actually tried eating them (yet)! Their weird appearance caught my attention but I am not sure I'd like them.

Nice in a stir fry or omelette.
