Sparkling Winter Garden
Twinkling rays of setting sun
Come sifting through the trees
To dance upon the forest floor
And sparkle with the breeze
Abstract photography of a northeast Georgia sunset sifting through the forest.
These abstracts are formed through Camera Painting rather than editing in PS, etc. I get the effects with slight movements of the camera during a slow shutter speed. This one was created with a zig-zag movement after several tries … not an easy technique.

Eva and Klaus ...
Very lovely work and words Richard! You are really an artist with your camera. You clearly are using it as a tool of creation and not just as a visual recorder. Wonderful! This is something we both are trying to learn ;o)
Richard G Witham replied
Thanks again for your encouragement. Art in any medium really is a never ending journey.

Se estiran los azules..
y los rojos..
Se estira la luz y pasean las formas.
Mis ojos húmedos deslizan las lágrimas
entre las sombras.
Calientes, vértigo de mirada profunda.

Richard G Witham replied
Gracias Rosa. Me encanta la fotografia, pero me divierto mas que siempre pintando con la camara … bueno yo con la naturaleza.
