Project 52: Week 7 – Camera and lens movement

Wow- what a great project. I may have phoned it in last week, but I feel I made up for it this week. Usually, I would only move my camera in one direction to make abstracts – up and down. This week I discovered a whole new world of camera movement.

I took my camera everywhere – on the road, through airports, to the gardens – and played with both architectural and nature subjects. I found nature subjects easier to abstract; maybe because its the type of photography I prefer, or they are generally more colorful. I do admit, I saw the DFW airport in a new light. I have walked through there hundreds of times and never noticed these beautiful mosaics on the ground in the D terminal. An airport volunteer gave me a map and told me where to find more information. I had many favorites from this week’s project, here are a few. I will write a longer post on the different techniques I used, subjects that seemed to work better for me, and things that didn’t. In the meantime, enjoy.
