Day 73 – 01/17/11 – Perpetual Motion

I’ve been really busy today, first with work and then errands.  Unfortunately that left me with little time for photography.  Combine that with a creative dry spell and I’m stuck with a shot I’m not too thrilled with.

I have a Newton’s Cradle on my desk, and thought I might be able to get some interesting motion shots out of it.  I don’t think I got the lighting quite right to capture what I was after though, and unfortunately don’t have any more time to play with it this evening.  I may come back to it another night, but for now here it is, Perpetual Motion.

  1. Like the motion feel on this shot and it sort of feel like this composition has symmetrical elements.

  2. Jim, I love the symmetry in this photo, can’t wait to see what else you have planned!

    Thanks guys. The symmetry is what I liked about this particular shot as well. I had several where the balls were caught further out to one side, and it really unbalanced the image.

    What a fantastic capture!!!

  5. I really like this too! I don’t think you should be upset with this at all! Looks great! I finally got to check out what you’ve been doing for the last few days. It all looks amazing! Love the Tabasco one!
