Theme 12 Metallic

Week 12! Man the year is screaming by.

I was looking on the web and there are not specific sites for shooting metallic objects per sea, but there is a lot of imagery. It has a tendency to be shiny and initially that is how I was picturing it in my head.

When in doubt get out the dictionary and learn the meaning(s) of the word.

Metallic;

a : of, relating to, or being a metal

b : made of or containing a metal

c : having properties of a metal

: yielding metal

: resembling metal: as

a : having iridescent and reflective properties <metallic paint>

b : having an acrid quality like that of metal <the tea has a metallic taste>

a : having a harsh resonance : grating <a metallic voice>

b : having an impersonal or mechanical quality <a metallic smile>

And that opens the interpretation way up!

Now I am inspired. Heck! I have a garage chock full of bits of armor, repousse art work, squares of textured tin, blacksmithing tools and all around metal junk.

I went out to let the horses out at about 11:00 pm on Monday. The moon was up and there were huge white puffy clouds screaming across the sky. Earlier in the day I was doing some research on long exposures and thought, "Oh boy!" What an opportunity to experiment with some of the techniques I had been reading about.

Below are some of the results....obviously I am in need of some further education and a lot more experience! Still, it gives me a hint of where I may be headed with my photography and that is very exciting.

None of these shots are eligible for this weeks challenge as they were shot during a different challenge week. But the full moon is the 16th and I will have another go at something similar.
