Flying stone gathers no moss!

Flying stone gathers no moss!
BIRDS AND BUGS ARE THE EASY ONE FOR ME, SO I DECIDED TO CHALLENGE MYSELF AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE...

I HAD TO ASK FOR HELP TO IMPLEMENT THIS, IT CAME FROM A JOKE, "WHY DON'T YOU THROW A STONE IN THE AIR WITH ONE HAND AND SHOOT IT WITH THE OTHER" SAID MY BUDDY TO ME WHILE WALKING THE DOGS IN THE SERRA... SO I REPLIED HE WOULD THROW THE STONE AND I WOULD SHOOT IT, IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES AND A LOT OF LAUGHS TILL I GOT SOMETHING DECENT, EVEN IF I DID NOT GET A PERFECT FOCUS ON THE STONE... I DID NOT HAVE COURAGE TO GO GIVE IT A BEST TRY.

AND THERE IS MY FIRST IDEA, MAYBE GRUNGE, BUT I LIKE TO IMAGINE WEIRD THINGS. IN HERE WE HATE THOSE WIND TURBINES, THEY ARE NOISY, KILL BIRDS, ADULTERATE OUR WILD AND PEACEFUL LANDSCAPE, DO NOT EVEN REFRESH US IN SUMMER HOT DAYS... SO I DESTROYED ONE IN POSTPROCESSING FOR MY FUN AND BY DERISION

Great job challenging yourself, Isabel! I would think getting any kind of focus on a flying rock would be very hard.

A very deserving adjustment you've given to the wind turbine. :D I don't like them either and I'm glad there aren't any near me or they would drive me crazy!

funny. On the main picture, it looks like floating on water with its reflection. On another one, it looks like a UFO. And on another, it seems there are two rocks, one far away at right.But it was Dangerous to throw the rock at the turbine :-))
6 years ago. Edited 6 years ago.
Xata club has replied to Jean-michel N club
It is because there was soil attatched to the rock and like a spaceshuttle it lost a part.... that broke the turbine, of course! After I had to flee from the police... LOL!

did you try in one shot a time or the multiple one? Great idea, to have fun is the main thing

Just tried one shot and the focus should have been adjusted in a different way... but sometimes it is too hot to think straight!!!!

Brilliant idea! I had the same problem, so I put the camera on manual focus and set it for about 4 feet and just tried to get my subject in the focal plane. F/11 helped some, too. Rocks don't normally fly, but they do segment from cliff faces and end up falling through the air - that should count, too!

Xata club has replied to HaarFager club
Obrigada Kenny. You are absolutely right! After taking the series I thought stupid me did the right settings but forgot I was in auto-focus mode!!!! Did not have the courage to ask my friend to do it all over again...

Ha ha ha! =D

Well, I have planned to do a series like this for long! The series would be called something like "KFOs" (Known Flying Objects). The idea would be to toss all kinds of known and easy to identify items up in the air, and take a shot of them:

Or do the arrangement in some other way:
