Nightmares & Dreams (long exposure & camera movement)

Hi,
I've been messing around with long exposures and camera movement recently.

I've returned to this post 2 or 3 times before commenting, as I was looking for a lasting impression, so, for me, images 3-5, mainly because I prefer colour images but also because I like their abstract painterly qualities.

Images 1 and 2 do nothing for me, not because they're b&w, but because they ask me to identify what they are, and it took a little while for me to see the trees for the woods

It is 2 and 3 for me, number 3 in particular very nice.

Thanks for the comments.
They're all very subjective obviously.
1 and 2 give me a cold, uncomfortable feeling, I could picture myself lost in a woods, about to collaspe and this is what'd I'd see. For me to look at a photo and be able to get a feeling from it speaks strongly about a photo.


I like to try different things with photography and expierment a bit. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

These are very cool and imaginative, well done indeed
