Sony DSC-S75, 0.5 sec, f2.2, ISO 100

I wasn't going to post this since I seem to be the only person I've shown it to who likes it but here goes. Several nights ago we had unusual weather for October with very high winds and lightning. Looking out my bedroom window, I noticed tons of yellow leaves from the woods flying all over my yard. The lightning and stormy skies gave everything a deep yellow glow so I took my camera out onto the porch but didn't like anything I came up with. I started playing with twisting the camera and and this was the result. Other than levels, resizing, and a small shot of sharpening this is straight form the camera. All comments are welcome. Thanks for looking. :)

I think this is awesome - I've done lots of zoom blurs in my time but never even thought of rotating the camera. Reall cool!!!

You can add one more person who likes it. THe compliment of colors is great and you almost get the mood of things going a little topsy-turvey with the impressions from the wind and blur. I think it's just great and would not be shy at all to have it on my wall.

You can count me in as another one who likes this photo. The colors and sense of movement are awesome. I have done some experimenting like this and it's a lot of fun. It's also a lot harder to get nice results like these than it sounds. 8)

Laura, I'm another who thinks this is VERY cool. I feel very windblown just looking at it and the colors are great.
