I haven't been on in a loooong time. I have had family passing on and other personal problems to go threw and I reverted to my first love....painting to help get me going. But I just couldn't put the camera down for long. Hopefully the Universe has thrown me all the Her curve balls and I'll be back for awhile.

As promised an update on Cheyenne. He has been around quite a lot this past little bit but mostly while he was hunting and since I did not want to interfere with that I only took a couple of shots from a distance. Of course he has only visited in the worst possible lighting. Right before it has started to rain when it was really dark or just before the sunset. So sorry about the high ISO noise on a few of these but I will not use a fill flash on him. Most are a really tight crop.

8-19-13 On the hunt in my yard. I think he caught field mouse.

7-19-13 He finially sat still enough for a decent portrait.

Ahhhh, happy mistakes. I wish I have them. Your current uploads are not as interesting because they look more contrived than natural. You have added a mirror image to each one? For the first image, you need some black space on both sides. You are not computer stupid if you can do what you have already done to the images.

Thanks again for the input and for your time. The first one is #3 with with your suggestions. I might add that I like MUCH better this way.
The other two were taken last night on a quick trip to the store. Maybe I did better on these.
As for being computer stupid, it is more like computer illiterate. I don't have all the programs for all the neat stuff that others do. The program I do have is free and I am just now getting around to finding out what all the buttons do.
Thank you again for your time and help.

Fun. Nice abstract art! I find them well balanced which is something you couldn't control and I like the fact there are multiple colors--who knew it would turn out like that. I think Chinaman's observations are perfect.

Thank you very much for your kind words Carly!

Fantastic set, Shane! I love your brilliant idea, the simplicity and at the same time intriguing abstracts and colours. I like how they are slightly slanting towards the right and the frames suit them to a T. I have images similar to yours but have not thought of doing it the way you have. Thank you for the idea.

After all the high praises from everyone, I'll like to bring you down to earth a wee bit. Sorry about that. The second image is a bit weak as it can do with a few more coloured streaks and the 3rd has a bit too much. Have you another image to replace #2? I would suggest cloning out the light spots on the right edge and the bright white streak on the left in the 3rd image. Don't crop the sides as you need the black spaces on both sides. I would also adjust them so that they are all of the same size.

Another idea is to put all the 4 of them in a square formation in one frame. If you do this, have the images that are on the right side flipped, so the lines are slanting inwards. This stops the viewer from following the slant which leads the eyes out of the frame towards the right. Or put 3 of them in a row within one frame. Once again, the right one should be flipped. This is a very saleable set of images. Very well done again, Shane.

I looked over your previous postings and I am very impressed by your work. I can see that you like your birds and the handful of non-bird images show a great eye for design and creativity. So don't hold back on the different subjects you can shoot.
Best Wishes
Chinaman

No need to bring me down to earth. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you so much for the critique.
These came about as a total happy mistake. I was playing around with the camera and trying to explain the different settings to hubby. I set the camera for a timed exposure so hubby could hear the difference in the shutter speeds and pointed the camera out of my window. As I went to delete the pic that I just took I realized that it was pretty unique and decided to try a couple on purpose. Unfortunately it was a short ride home and I only managed to capture about 10 different shots. Most had the white "fog" that I did not like. So these were the last few taken with out the "fog". I guess I need to go for another ride tonight.
Played with these a little bit. Unfortunately I am computer stupid and this is about all I have been able to come up with. I am working on your suggestions for number 3 this evening.
Thank you again for the suggestions and the critique.

Thank you so much. Timed exposure of traffic lights and building lights taken while riding in the passenger side of the car. Trying hard not to get the "fog" of white lights. Then all photos turned to the vertical.
