Yes i 2nd JM, that is creative. And i guess we have that grass here too. I need to learn using the video in my camera or in my phone. My camera even has a wifi but haven't explored it yet, too busy to learn.
Thanks! This is simply a series of photos, shooting into the same patch of Switchgrass at the same location, and adjusting the focus to see the different layers. Then I loaded them into the video program, added some transitions, and then some public domain music. It's fun, but it does take a little time.
Beautiful - I'm compiling photos of plants that I want to incorporate into the ornamental borders (the folder is getting rather full!) and switchgrass is on the list. I saw a lovely one ('Cheyenne Sky') at the Botanical Gardens this weekend...and I'm finally learning to take a photo of both the plant AND the variety label :)
Good idea! This grass is growing amid a lovely combination of other prairie plants in a pretty little pollinator garden near the lake. The light near the lake adds magical glimmers to the grass.
Thanks for the encouragement, Ricki. I was out at a neat little garden and noticed how there were so many layers of grass ... and by changing the focus on the camera by tiny increments, I was always seeing something new. The video was an attempt to convey this.
That was creative! Cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! One day I was snapping photos of Switchgrass and realized how many layers you can see in a patch of it.

DeleteVeru nice music!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. It's a public domain performance of Bach's Book I: Prelude and Fugue #8 in E Flat Minor.
Deletemesmerising - can image you playing the piano ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't play. Wish I could. :)
DeleteVery artsy of you. Delicate yet compelling.
ReplyDeleteThanks. One day I was snapping photos of the seemingly endless layers of Switchgrass, and it seemed a natural for a video vignette. :)
DeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Wordless Wednesday.
Lovely! I find it so hard to photograph switchgrass, but it's one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI agree: It's a hard subject. But such a beauty.

DeleteGreat grass AND video!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, the grass is so attractive--especially in certain locations and combinations.
DeleteCreative and relaxing . . .
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to make. :)
DeleteI love this. Keep them coming. :-)

Thanks, Carla. I enjoy making little movies. They take a little time, but it's fun to see how the images, animation, and audio come together. :)
DeletePushing the blogging envelope...I like it!

DeleteThey kind of look like impressionist paintings. Artistic!
ReplyDeleteMother Nature is an amazing artist. She inspired me to combine some of her images into a little video with some music. :)
DeleteQuite mesmerising! A lovely music selection too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim. It was fun to put all the elements together. :)
DeleteBravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jason. It was a fun little project.
DeleteBeautiful! Love, love switch-grass!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tina! It's an especially pretty patch by the lake. :)
