Gravity
…and weightlessness. I’ve been pondering these opposing yet complementary forces lately, looking at their effects on our minds, bodies and spirits while experimenting with capturing movement. I especially like the way the early evening half moon shines brightly through the figure in this one.
Thank you for visiting…

Fabulous image – the softness and ambiguity of the figure against the sharp ground – this is gallery-worthy sublime & gorgeous!
deepbluwater replied
What amazing words from you Rachel!! Thank you so much, wow…
I knew I had the image happily stuck in my mind but did not know if it would resonate with others as well. Truly, thanks so much for your glowing words…

Mel Brackstone
Beautiful work, dBw, as you know, I do love a bit of blur :)))) Love the monochrome here too!
deepbluwater replied
Thanks so much Mel! so glad you like it… You are beyond brilliant with blurs so I am very happy to hear your words. and I simply love that image of yours!! I’ve lots to learn about my camera and what I can do with it so I really do appreciate your words and support :)) Thanks again Mel!!
Mel Brackstone
I hope you’re going to enter it into the blur challenge??
deepbluwater replied
I didn’t know if it was up to the level, but with your words and my huge desire to upgrade my equipment (omigod a lensbaby!) I have entered the challenge, yea! thanks so much for mentioning it Mel, I would likely not have entered if not for you.
you are one awesome woman!
:))))
Mel Brackstone
It’s perfect for the competition! Best thing about composer is you can set it to blur and do self portraits now….the older lensbabies had to be held….I love the way lensbabies make me stretch myself to do different things…..good luck, you’ve got my vote!
deepbluwater replied
Wow! I am so excited about the possibilities now! and I love being stretched to do new things… Huge & enormous (ginormous) LOL, thanks to you Mel for your inspiration, enthusiasm & support.
Now I can’t wait to do more work with motion!!
Mel Brackstone
Just don’t twirl so much you get sick, ok? Looking forward to seeing more!! :)
deepbluwater replied
LOL! I just have to pause for a few seconds between each shot…
can’t wait to do more, thanks so much!!
Mel Brackstone
Oh yeah, and check out DragonFlyer’s work Now SHE’S inspiring!!!
deepbluwater replied
yes, just getting better and better!
Paul Vanzella
YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS… the way the figure is so well represented and then you have this disappearing act… like overlays of the environment over form… and, marvel at the control in the way this is shot… also love the point of view and framing, so well thought out and makes it so easy to embrace… a clever, original piece of work.. totally love this! Lots to like here!!!
deepbluwater replied
You are the best Paul! ;)) so glad you like the details in this image…
I really appreciate hearing your thoughts and I love what you see!
Thanks so much for your words, now I’m even more inspired to continue experimenting along these lines…
hsien-ku
this is beautiful – the figure really seems utterly weightless!
deepbluwater replied
Thank you so much! lovely to see you here, I enjoy your work so much… thanks again!
Paul Vanzella
