Hallucinatory Promenade by TwoPynts
Open full image in new tabDescription
This photo was shot several months ago but is in a similar vein to my last two gallery images. As with the others, postwork was only done to enhance what was already there, not to add any special effects. Handheld exposure for 1/2 second while walking, f2.4, 50ASA. How exactly the surreal and dreamy waves happened in the background of the photo I am not quite sure, but it is certainly one of those happy accidents. Combined with the grainy texture and movement of the central figure, it added up to something I found interesting enough to share. I took about 12 photos like this that evening. This is my favorite. And BTW, Happy Birthday Cynlee! You say this is how you see without your glasses, no wonder your photos are so interesting! :) ----- Thanks for stopping by and for your tenebrous comments on my last photo, Twilight Zones.

nice effects, indeed...
How odd, I was just comment on the previous shots! This is great, that sense of the momentary, an etheral vision, and great design. I too find those strange artifacts in these motion/time images to be amazing ~ just little gifts from the photo muse. That one red shoe that seems to spark light of its own - just all very cool.
Did they have lights in their shoe? I love the Poe quote, one of my all time fav's!!! Great image! I do dream during the day, and there can be a down-side to it, as is evident in some of the bruises I have acquired! ; )
SUPERB!Love the little red spot!
Stunning image, beautiful colors, great idea! It is so simple yet special.
I like this very much! I too like the spark of light from his shoes. I will have to check out the other images you did in this vein.
Much much better interpretation and result than the previous. And yes the light in the shoe sets it off nicely. KP ps. new happy face up!
Perfect combination of quotation and image. Has that element of mystery that I yearn for but is so hard to realise. Accident or not, it's a little gem! (Nice to see you took this with MY camera ;-)
Very nice, it has a strong element of mystery. Well done!!
Twinkle Toes has arrived from the Spirit World...fine Post Work here....and a Big salute for Cynlee!
I love this series of yours. It is very imaginative and extraordinarily well executed. Love the smudged colours and the appearance of motion. Top class.
A touch of class..... love the fantasy here. :O))
Beautiful effects that relates to many things. I'm glad my bar hopping days are over. Excellent series. Aloha
yes.. i fill in what i can't with my imagination, lol.. heightening the other senses but thank goodnees for corrective eyewear! :] thank you for the happy note kort!! luv the series.. your explorations are always a pleasure.. xo puss & kram, hugs & kisses, dof & pov! :o)
He was so right (Poe)... he was so right. Another extraordinary creation! Bravo...
Is he walking around with a light on his shoe? You took this with 1/2 second exposure...WHILE WALKING??? To even come up with such an idea is impressive. I too have to agree about those waves adding to the compo. Makes it look like some timewarp or something. Great one K! #:O)
Very interesting image and impression... Light too... Real art.. My vote..
I feel like I'm dreaming when i look at this pic.
that 's the beuaty of the photography; the camera can catch somethink you can 't see; just, may be, imagine.
Very surreal and dreamy effect! Beautiful!!!
effects are interesting and surreal, like the colors and lighting also:):)..V
Fantastic effect!!! I like it! V
Very cool and love the little light in the sneaker.
I like that!! Very cool shot! Almost abstract but not quite!
Your series on motion is certainly inspiring me as i have thought much about the idea. Now there is a little fire going where it moves me forward. Thank you for sharing your experimentations with us.
Ha ha ha, this must become a money making optician's series! :) Fantastic work, Kort!
if we would use the whole capacity of our brain maybe we would things like this you are showing here! like a look into another dimension! ;o)
lovely
