Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sun, 07/15/07 11:35 I like the coloring of the grasses (in particular when the image is set against a black background), the sense of wind blown grass that is created by the zooming and hand movement of the camera, and just the manner in which the grasses glow in the image (works to create the sense of the grasses as sculptured metal). Comments by Mo Fridlich on Sun, 07/15/07 12:28 Wonderful effect!! Comments by Rick Longworth on Sun, 07/15/07 12:28 ...the black background it is... fine one. Love those rubarb reds. Comments by Daniel Bennett on Sun, 07/15/07 13:43 Nice work. I've been trying to take this picture for some time. I love backlit grass. I'll have to try the zoom thing. Comments by Bahman Farzad on Sun, 07/15/07 13:50 Daniel: These are not hard but VERY HARD to capture a good one. Be patient and do not give up! Make sure to use the sharpen-more after you have downsize it. The effect will appear. Use a slight zoom, slight hand movement (or combination of both) at about 1/8 to 1/15 sec with aperture set to 22-38 with an ISO of 200/400 late in the afternoon (4 to ...pm). Good luck.

Comments by Rafael Seibert on Sun, 07/15/07 19:10 Excellent! -Raf Comments by Linda Frey on Sun, 07/15/07 19:17 I've been seeing foxtail in the fields that could look like this. Maybe.

Comments by Christie on Thu, 08/02/07 12:26 Bahman, this is so wonderful! You have inspired me to try this!!!!! Comments by Greg Scott on Thu, 08/02/07 16:39 Just the right blur in just the right directions. Who says you have to wait hours for a lull in the breeze to shoot flora? This is probably the best photo I've seen with this kind of motion blur.
