The house around the corner sprung a leak-or more likely, several-a few days ago and the plastic sheeting the contractor put up to prevent further damage was flapping around quite a lot today. Picturing the wind is simpler in a video than still photography, but I think this does it.
Hi Andrew, thanks for posting.
This puts me in mind of a photo I saw some time ago, containing a curtain hanging out of a window and blowing in the breeze in a similar manner. What struck me in that photo was the photographer had managed to capture the movement of the curtain by using a long exposure (on a tripod of course).
I think this image would benefit from that technique - capturing not only the billowing of the plastic but movement of the clouds.
I have long meant to experiment with that technique more myself (on movement other than flowing water), thanks to your reminder I plan to set that as a goal for when the weather improves.
Is Harry a patient enough fella to let you stop for a while, or would he simply see a tripod as just another element that warrants a leg raise?
Alan, there are several problems with doing this sort of thing with a tripod, and I suspect Harry is the least of them. While not the calmest and the most patient of the three dogs we have had over the years, he can be bribed. There is also the issue of the neighbors thinking I am doing something nefarious: shooting through windows, exploiting their children, etc., Of course, nobody who knows me would think those realistic, but those are the times we live in. Probably the biggest handicap would be simply carrying the tripod while holding Harry's leash and poopbag(s) while walking with a cane. I do carry a tripod when I venture into the wetlands behind our house (without Harry) which I have not been able to do for the last few years because they have fenced it off while they are running a new sewer line. I'm looking forward to that and a few long exposure projects once the weather is better and hopefully the end of Covid concerns.
