Rainy Florida Sunday Morning Question (Original Post) HAB911 Aug 2024 OP
"The devil whispered behind the leaves, it's pretty, but is it art?" Walleye Aug 2024 #1
Well, HAB911 Aug 2024 #2
Good answer Walleye Aug 2024 #4
Well, in my not-so-humble-opinion, my dear HAB911: It's ART! CaliforniaPeggy Aug 2024 #3
Thank you peggy! HAB911 Aug 2024 #6
Intention may be part of the answer. Did you intentionally use a slow setting on your camera? 3Hotdogs Aug 2024 #5
No, not intentional HAB911 Aug 2024 #7
No fair. You obviously live near an airport. 3Hotdogs Aug 2024 #8

This photo examines the hesitation as part of the process of decision-making, where the object is neither the object of objecthood nor the art-object. It is rather the oblique object of my intentions, I never said. Someone else said it about their art, and I love it. LOL

Did you take the shot and look at it on the screen, "Shit, this ain't half bad?"

Neither answer is wrong.

I do take "Intentional camera movement" photos from time to time:

However, in this case, the Z8 has a setting for "subject tracking with lock-on", which works rather well when a tree comes between me and the subject while panning. In this case my chimney came between me and the subject for a long period of time and the camera lost focus. When I pulled it in Photoshop, I immediately fell in love with it. This happens occasionally when the sun is just right and this happens:

sort of the Goldilocks zone, 2.5 miles from the flight path which isn't loud at all. weather can cause them to loop around me like the OP photo, but not so close as it would seem, I'm using a 1200mm lens. My wife and I were joking how these plane photos have taken a large part of my photography simply because the subjects come to me, not like chasing a dragonfly all over the yard, lol. Now if you are in a location where they fly over at 40,000ft you can still snag some interesting shots, like this Delta with the Auxiliary Power unit on for some reason, or this Spirit through high thin clouds on the way to Miami. I have found the subject matter is limitless!
