I have wanted to try panning but just haven't done it. And I've heard about scanography but haven't been inspired to try it until now. Love everything, Steph -- and wonderful photos to illustrate your words. terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-67148713944160997152012-08-18T06:49:43.712-07:002012-08-18T06:49:43.712-07:00ahh, so packed full of new inspiration.

Will have to give it another try. Tried scanning a lion pacing back and forth at the zoo but it did not turn out well. Thanks for all the great inspiration and glad you got your groove back.

I pretty much love taking pictures of everything except people and flowers. For some reason I find it very difficult to use the macro setting. Today I took your advice and took a picture of a flower in my garden. I'm not sure about the name of the flower but I did post it in the FOL gallery. Thanks for getting me to "shoot outside my box".

I have heard of scanning and thought, "what's the big deal?" Well now that I see your work of art i think, wow, maybe I should try this! I have done some panning work. It is difficult to get it right, but practice, practice, practice. And I usually love the soft focus photos that I see other photographer's doing, but I don't ever have the same feel for mine. I guess I have that "sharp focus" think stamped on my brain. I feel inspired to try some more. Love the photos. yay for creativity!heyjudephotographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098165048025314116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-12860399534984169382012-08-17T12:22:35.259-07:002012-08-17T12:22:35.259-07:00Thanks for sharing the scanning technique.

I have done this in the past but not too much lately. Time for another go. I always feel refreshed and excited when I stretch myself. I have been trying to experiment with more techniques lately.

There is a photographer who,lives here in Merrimac, Harold Feinstein, who uses this process and has several books published - roses, orchids, butterflies and seashells. It looks like a fun process to try. I will post some shots of things I am trying - zooming while shooting and long exposures with people moving. I am still trying to "master" panning.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471025202037748283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-29469508742231119392012-08-17T08:30:33.004-07:002012-08-17T08:30:33.004-07:00What a doll you are, inspiring us so!!

And I've really only tried panning with birds on the beach, I guess because there are always subjects readily available, but I have been wanting to try more. It is tricky! And well, that last one IS full of emotion...well done and so glad you got your mojo back!! xoKim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-57241190101446514722012-08-17T04:21:32.202-07:002012-08-17T04:21:32.202-07:00Wow, Stephanie!

Well, we'll see. Maybe grey skies and a falling-down barn are just the right combination.<br /><br />All your photos are awesome but the flower photo is fantastic. Sounds like fun! I agree with you: Panning is tricky.<br /><br />xo<br />:-DDottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.com
