In the village we believe that differences must enrich rather than divide

Marko,

Its been a while but thats a whole different conversation. However, I just wanted to say this is my first post in a looooong time, and it had to be this one. This is by far one of the best pieces of art Ive seen come out of a camera. All of us commonly fall into the same trap that photography leads us into. We take still pictures, sometimes leave our shutter open longer, or photoshop different effects into a picture to avoid this and we often forget that photography is more than just that. It is painting with light and you have done an excellent job here. I understand that shots like this arent always possible, but it excites me to see people thinking out of the box, which clearly you have done. Again, I just wanted to say good job amd excellent work.

This is excellent Marko! I have been practiciing this technique for some time now in forests but have not been successful yet. Allow me to ask few questions
1. Is the movement bottom up or the reversome e or doesn't matter.
2. Do the polls need to be on an inclinded plain (that is the impression I got here)
3. How wide was your lens?

Any other tips?
Thanks

Thanks so much for that JJ - muchly appreciated for sure! Glad to see u!

Yisehaq many thx! - To answer your questions - 1 - I don't record the exact movements I use as i try many of them but I think this was top to down. It definitely matters as every micro movement yields a different effect but there is no 'right effect'. 2 - these poles were straight but my angle to them was inclined and the movement accentuated it. 3 - The image image was shot at f/10 at night. In terms of other tips - be prepared to invest a lot of time as this technique takes infinite patience. Composition is crucial as it always is.
Hope that may help.

I could stare at this work of art for hours. Marko, this is perhaps the best example I've seen to date of a photo using this technique. You've got so much depth, vibrant colour and vitality in this image, it's unbelievable. My hat's off to you.
