Weekend Reflections -- High Speed Reflection

My wedding ring spinning at high speed. I was amazed that I was able to freeze both the ring and the reflection in front of it.

  6. That right there is an awesome picture.

    I once took a pic of an airplane and happened to catch it when all of the lights were flashing at the same time. I was in awe of myself.

  10. Gorgeous. My husband likes to say that he can zap me whenever he likes through my wedding band. This picture makes me think he's right.

  12. Oooh. Love the sense of motion at the base of the ring. Very cool idea for a reflection photo. Great snap.

    ReplyDelete
  13. So simple, and yet so impressive..

    ReplyDelete
  14. That is a lovely shot : I like the way you captured the reflection while it was spining : it looks like some kind of mysterious vortex...

    I like rings, as you know it cause I use them quite often to catch reflection for our contest, and think that using your wedding one to catch a reflection was a really great idea.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Interesting catch Pat. Has your marriage got you spun out?

    ReplyDelete
  16. great shot Pat- Marriage is like rolling the dice/ring

    ReplyDelete
  17. fantastic!
    Love the light and the counter top too

    during the writer's strike Conan Would open his show by seeing how long his wedding band would spin and trying to beat his previous night's record

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh, Pat! This is such a cool photo! Amazing how you caught the reflection in front of the ring. Gorgeous! Wow! :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. With a fast enough shutter, you can capture anything, cool reflections.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Great photo Pat! Loving all the light reflecting off your ring!

    Have a great weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Wow! I have trouble taking photos of something standing still. Beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  22. wow! i really love this shot!!
    that ring looks awesome!

    p.s. i'm on a blog break but i just wanted to pop over to your blog and say hi!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Le mariage reste une valeur sûre ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Very cool! If I was rolling on the floor would you take a picture of me?

    ReplyDelete
  25. I need your camera! Better yet, I need you to take photos for me. By the time I press the shutter, with my shakiness, even if something wasn't moving, I end up with a blur.

    ReplyDelete
  26. That's incredible Pat! Have a great weekend!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. That is awesome! I was just about to ask if you were spinning the ring. Great stuff!

  36. This...Is...AWESOME!!! =D What an incredible shot, Pat...it's beautiful! =) You should see if you can take the shutter speed down a tidge and catch it as our eyes would see it -- a shiny blur! ;) Love this!

    ReplyDelete
  37. What a great capture! I like the shiny curving lines inside the ring--like dancing light flashes. Very clever capture of your spinning wedding ring.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Cheeseboy - I guess I'm going to have to fool around with this some more. Maybe with different exposures.

    poutept - That is so true! Thanks! Same to you!

    Berit - Thanks so much! You have a good one also!

    Ven - Thanks, but I've seen some of your photos. You have a really good eye, and that is half the battle.

    Chuck - Congrats Chuck! You are going to have a lot of fun that one!

    Nature Rambles - thanks for the nice comment!

    Genie - Why thank you! I should have posted a couple of the "not so good" ones also!

    Anthony - Thanks Anthony! I appreciate it.

    Janet - Thanks you! I think I might have done that already!

    Pat - Thanks so much! I think you all just got a glimpse into my A.D.D.ness!

  41. That is a beautiful picture!! How cool!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. You good man, you wear your wedding band. My husband lost his, and said not to bother to buy a new one.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Pat, forgive me, but I am laughing. I see you sitting at the (marble? formica?) table and spinning your wedding ring over and over and over, shooting, shooting, shooting... BINGO! But don't get me wrong, I think it's wonderful to play and experiment like this and the result is a fun reflection shot indeed. Or was this a one-time wonder?

    ReplyDelete
  44. What a clever idea. (Fess up, how many spins?)

    ReplyDelete
  45. tapirgal - Sometimes they do. Nobody was injured during this one!

    Marlene - I'm happy that it worked! Thanks!

    Jerry - Sometimes, I'm easily amused! Thanks Jerry!

    Owen - ...and round and round and round...

    Pagan - Thanks so much!

    Baby Sister - thanks! Hope you're having a good weekend!

    Ann - I lost mine a while back. Until my granddaughter dug up a flower bed to find it!

    Francisca - You hit it right the first time! Just me, my camera and my short attention span!

    altadenahiker - Serveral spins! A few of them ended up on the floor!

    ReplyDelete
  46. What a great idea for a reflection shot. Almost as good the photo.

  48. Wow! I don't know what that means, but a very cool image. Thanks for sharing. Maybe a wormhole will come out of it.

  51. Cool effect Pat, I really like the way you caught the reflection. Well done.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Wow, that's a cool pic, Pat, especially full size.
    I love how the little streaks of reflected light got captured as it was spinning.
    I have not been around much, but my prayers and blessings are with you and all your wife's friends and family in Japan...

    ReplyDelete
  53. Wonderful shot, I love the result.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Wow, how did you do that! Looking at the amount of comments you got on this, people like it! And so do I:)

    ReplyDelete
  55. D&R - I really hadn't even thought about the reflection when I took it. Just me passing time in my ADD way... I'll be over soon!

    John - No bowing please! A simple gift will suffice! Thanks John!

    Stephen - I thought the same thing when I looked at the photo! Along that line...I finished your book yesterday. Can't wait until the story continues!

    Robyn - Actually, my camera is better than my eye! It doesn't have to use reading glassed! Have a great weekend Robyn!

    Rajlakshmi - Thanks so much for the nice comment!

    SQ - Thanks Judy! Pretty lucky also!

    Ally - Thanks so much!

    Pam - Why thank you!

    Joe - Hey Joe! So nice to see you! I'm not sure how many people noticed those... Thanks for the nice words, I'll pass them on.

    Leovi - Thanks Leovi! I appreciate it...
