  1. Wowza! My faves are: 1, 7, 9 with honorable mentions to 3 & 8!
    #1 - Really like everything about the tire in the snow, great composition (I thought of doing this too but knew you'd blow me out of the water - which you did!) #7 Like your style on the mirror & it's kind of an optical illusion. #9 Perfect in B&W!

    I enjoyed your tribute to the Beatle, they were a very special group. I snorted my coffee when I say #8...HE'S BACK! So funny!

  2. Love the snowy tire, it looks like it is moving. also the last one has a glow from the lights and that looks really cool.# 3 is really stands out and makes a statement with the blurr around it.

  3. 1,2,9 are the winners all the rest are great. The ski mask is scary. Are you zooming on the wheel and drum during the exposure? If not then how the heck did you do it?
    I decided 9 is the most creative and appealing. Very good eye on that one. You must spend a lot of time in there. HEHE

    1. I'd love to say I was that creative on the wheel Burr, but again, it was done much easier using Picasa 3 and the focal blur effect... :-)

      I might try it myself. I was aware of the technique but never tried it. By the way this website is loaded with info.

  4. #1 is my favorite if it is a moving wheel....looks like it is to me. I really like what you did with the Neon Mirror and the weird guy in the mirror. You goofball!! Nice edits though on the Neon Mirror pic. You are clearly becoming the Picasa master. I've tried to use the site....and (shocker) I struggle a bit. :-)
    Is your last picture at Home Depot or something?? I really like it....creative capture.

    1. Nope Lynn, the wheel was not moving. I had tried to get that effect as cars drove by then I finally realized that just wasn't going to work....then I thought back to the train track pics from weeks ago and resorted to my Picasa 3 to cheat :-) Picasa 3 , while not a very fancy editing program. I find it very simple to use. I've tried others that are much more capable and in depth, but they were too complicated for me....I'm a keep it simple kind of guy... LOL

  5. Mark, you try so many interesting things with your photos and very successfully, I might add! Is that your Beatles drum set? I had a black Beatles wig when I was young- wish I'd kept it... Nice reflection shot in #9 and it would be fun to see Strange Guy again!
