All pics chronologically ordered using one of my two XT3s and an XF 16-55mm or an XF 50-140mm ( sometimes with an XF 1.4x TC ) steady on my good ol' Gitzo tripod or intentionally blurred handheld

Wishing you all good health and good light for 2022,

Ed

A stunning an engaging collection, Ed.

Some truly outstanding photos that I'd love to comment on but they are just too hard to identify. No titles and no numbers.

Just one suggestion: I find the black bars very distracting. Maybe try for a white full border (or black, if you must).

Happy New Year!

Thanks Vitée !

Try clicking on the first pic and viewing in gallery mode regarding the black bars

At least you didn't quote all the pics in your reply lol

The lack of numbers and names was a conscious choice - just enjoy ( or not )

Happy New Year !

You seem to have the art of the blur mastered. Only teeny tiny complaint is that there are lot of (really good) photos to scroll through.

These are excellent. You narrowed down a concept, stuck with consistent techniques, and have a really cohesive group of images here.

Great set of photos.... I thought Jerry was going to tell you that more than 60 photos was one too many...

Hi Ed,

Beautiful series. Much enjoyed.  It's midsummer here, 39°C.  The creeks have all dried up and there's no flowing water to be seen anywhere, so these were a feast.  Thanks for posting.

Cheers, Rod

Wow, what a great set of images!  Really like the ones with a lot of green and orange in them.

OK. That works. When I see the 'Original' option I tend to click it so that I can appreciate the the larger image, but when viewed in the gallery they look good.

At least you didn't quote all the pics in your reply lol

I think my faves are the frozen Autumn leaves shots.

Happy New Year !
