Here is my experimentation with intentional camera movement to create an abstract. This is a view of the southern sky from my balcony at sunset, or just after. I would love some C&C on the technique, and I welcome examples of your work or links to tutorials.

In the photos above I pushed the blue a little, now having second thoughts about it. Here are the originals. I need a reality check for color.

    Carter, I love the way you are experimenting with the camera, doing what the rules say "Don't do that!".
    It inspires me to start thinking out of the box more. To move out of my comfort zone. Thank you.

    Carter! WOW!!! clap.gifclapclap.gifclap I love these...

    I would try tighter crops on #1 and #3 to isolate the movement. Great idea and execution!

    Thanks for the cropping suggestion. In the current crop I was going for a lot of negative space, so that the "arcs of motion" would have a surprise effect. Like, "this is a picture of nothing. Now wait, I see some energy here." I may try a tighter crop, and maybe even a 1x1 ratio. Thanks for your help!
