In true deviantArt fashion I'm deviating from my series, briefly, though not intentionally.

I was toying with my inspiration to shoot my umbrella superstition and after an hour of frustration with the boring state of the average umbrella.. lights were shining, umbrellas were spinning.. and the shutter was opened.

Experimenting with different concepts and ideas is one of the deep benefits of photography. I put a lot of myself into every shot and it connects with me on a very personal level. What fascinates me even more, is to hear your interpretations of it. Lesson learned today, 'Don't be afraid to play'

My goodness, I love this!

The positioning, composition, blur.. It's all perfect. It looks haunting, almost.. I saw the color version, but it didn't do anything for me.. The black and white brings it personality and that trademark 'you' feel to the picture. It kinda gives me chills looking at it, because there's just something that makes this umbrella look like it has a life of its own.. I know, I'm strange.

Very few times have I ever looked at an image and felt the movement of it. I've never, ever seen a picture of an umbrella quite like this.. Thanks for sharing your eye with the rest of us, Danielle. :hug:

I feel nothing in the colour version either I'd just posted it for curiousity sake but my emotion is totally plastered in this one.

Thank you for the great comment :hug:

Makes me a little bit dizzy just looking at it! The sense of motion is great :)

I really enjoy this, but I think it would have been a bit more emotionally impacting if it had been in color. I see it in bright reds and whites or yellows.

That's ironic because the lack of colour is what makes it personally hitting for me :)

Thanks for the input.

this is a wonderfully fun creation. who hasn't enjoyed spinning an umbrella? i think everyone has. but few have managed to capture the enjoyment of it visually in a cool abstract. great job! :)
