Happy Anniversary SSC!

Happy Anniversary SSC!
This week in SSC:

In honor of our 2 year anniversary in SSC this week we could choose a challenge that we learned something from while being in our group.

I chose "ICM" (Intentional Camera Movement.) I really like playing around with this technique just to see what I can come up with. It has taught me that you can actually paint with the light by using a longer shutter speed. My image is of ​our yard along the driveway from an upstairs window. You can just make out the fence and the ghosts of the trees as they transition from summer to fall ​and ​the days get shorter. There are some large fir trees, a ​dwarf dogwood and the yellowing Jacquemontii birch with its beautiful white bark.

Happy 2 year Anniversary, SSC! Thanks to all our members for your wonderful contributions each week. It's always fun to see what each of you come up with. :)


...and for Sight and Sound

There's something a little haunting about this photo to me so I chose this song to go along with it.

​Concrete Blonde from their album "Bloodletting" (1990)
