Now that I'm starting to see a few spring colours, I'm itching to try some more 'camera movement during exposure' photos - see last November's Photo Assignment. Here are some shots I've never posted before. All were taken with a 50mm lens.

Impressive set of images.

All are very nice , but I'm particularly drawn to the first of each set of four. In the first, I believe I see the reflection of water and it brings and holds the other ever so slightly recognizable elements together nicely.

The first of the second set is also charming(...and I don't mean in a cute way). It seems as if it asks me to gaze as deeply as I did the first, but for different reasons. I feel as if I've seen the image before, but don't know if it was another similar photograph somewhere else...or maybe in a dream.

Nice work.

Really nice set here. I like them all, but agree with Barefoot 1 & 5 are my favourites

Thanks for the comments. The first in each set are more impressionistic - the elements are still recognizeable, as you said. The others are fun experiments in abstract shape, texture, colour and texture. As for the first shot in the second series, I took many images after that snowfall, and did post two others in the Photo Assignment last November. :)

Nice play Doug L - Along with the motion blur shot 1 has a very interesting mood to it.

It is my fave of the set. My second fave is shot 5.

That first one of second post with the trees is very nicely done, but love the third one of the same set. Such lovely, soft, flowing colours that really create a pleasure to the eye.
