Abstract textures
So ambling along in the woods today I inadvertently released the shutter and produced a pleasing abstract image (above). So I took ten minutes to create a few more slow shutter speed creations while moving the camera in various directions in the forest. I think the result make a nice collection of textures or maybe…
