The Storm #4
The Storm #42000×1942 291 KB

I posted three of these images in the flora gallery. This is intentional subject movement as opposed to intentional camera movement. These images of a Japanese maple were taken with sustained 20 mile-per-hour winds and 30 mile-per-hour gusts. We had lost power and I went outside to try something I’ve never done before. The camera is stationary and the wind is doing the movement.

Beautiful colors. I could see flipping this vertically, so the leaves look more like flames rising up into the sky.

Good idea to flip this…
Thanks
