First, did make a typo on yesterday’s aperture setting. It was f-2.8, not f-8. Thanks emré!
Fridays will be “Abstract Day”. I kind of got in a mood this week, and shot quite a few frames. :o) If they all turn out well, I’m set for Fridays for awhile. The first image I’ve had on my list of things to do for a long time. I stuck three matches in a blob of Play Dough, set it on some black fabric, locked in the focus, turned on the flashlight, turned off the room light, lit the matches, and shot. Did it three times, those puppies burn fast. In two of the shots, the matches weren’t lined up. This was the second shot. I didn’t dare scan this with my sad scanner, would’ve come out too dark (not to mention, I haven’t received the print back yet.)
The second shot, I also haven’t received back yet, so you get the scan from the lab. A neighbor gave our youngest daughter his daughter’s old bike. My kid was thrilled. She didn’t know how to ride, though. She taught herself in four days. No training wheels, just a lot of persistence. I promised her a post with a shot that made her look like she was speeding around the yard. It’s my first decent panning shot, too! It was the last of four attempts on this particular roll. My younger son chases her around the house while she rides. It’s too darn cute. I’ll try to get a shot of that soon.
Flames Konica Minolta 70 Kodak Gold ISO shutter speed not noted (too busy putting out the fire) f-22 Aperture Mode Sigma 105mm portrait/macro lens
Racing Kid Konica Minolta 70 Kodak Gold ISO 400 1/3 f-22 Aperture Mode Sigma 70-300mm
These are both neat shots. I like the second one best. The sense of motion is very intense
Haha, the second photo is great! It looks to me as if she's sort of flying in a green cloud ;).
nice work !
sieht super aus wie das Foto mitgezogen wurde!
. . lol bigtime on the fire commentary . . but it was worth the risk to get that clean shot! Likewise, the speeding bike pic is very effective and your notes bring the event to life.
I really like the color contrast in the bottom image. The crisp pink really pops out at you.
Great job Micki! I just love the second one and good for her to teach herself in four days!
ggvlcbhxLove the bottome image, it's actually goving me a headache as I look at it, gives off the feeling of motion :)
The top shot is okay don't get ne wrong, buty I absolutely love the bike shot of your daughter. I wonder where she got her persistence from :)
Suby
Cool. Very nice panning shot.
Hey love the motion pan shot!!! Great in everyway. Just makes me wanna get out have some fun under the sun. :)
The bike is lovely -- nicely done!
1st Shot is Breathtakin (makes me wanna try that for sure)...2nd shot is amazing considering you shoot film...Such results only after 4 attempts is amazing.
So much respect!
I should dedicate a day for Abstract Photography as well coz I think I have enough material.
Thx for inspiration ;)

girl on bike is wonderful photo
Great shot, love the motion blur.
You had a wonderful result, i love both shots, the first one is simply awesome and the second i love the motion effect!!! it's pretty neat that you have a particular subject for every day!!! I love this!! :D
love the matches - it is terrific fun to experiment this way - love the movement in the second - just awesome!
i like the second photo as well - great colors and blur!
motion effect from bike shot is so cool:-) great capture!
Great job with the flames! The bike photo is pretty neat too! :)
Excellent panning!
Very impressive. You are developing a lovely technique here.
2nd one for me - love the motion blur on it - very creative the way you blurred out everything else :)
Love the panning shot here. Looks like she's really movin'!
The girl on the bike is a wonderful spring, youthful speed, carefree......shot
fire strater ! I love those two shots.
I love that triple-flame.. That's a great idea! I like the idea of abstract fridays..
the bottom image on the bike is very well taken Micki! perfect timing...cheers ;)
Micki your fans appreciate your efforts..we learn much about photography from you! Thank You!!Always enjoy viewing your photos.
The girl on the bike shot actually made me dizzy! Good job.
Both shots are nice :)
Great shots, both - the match flames are superb in execution; easy to do with digital and lots of matches, but timing is so important when expending frames of film! Love the slightly forward placement of your little speeder - really adds to the idea that she's going so fast that she's about to zoom out of the shot.
