Color Blur


Everything's so blurry
and everyone's so fake
and everybody's empty
and everything is so messed up
pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

When I first saw the assignment this week I thought of the song "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd, and that's the chorus.

Anyway..for my assignment I decided to play with one of Akhil's toys. It's something I still play with in doctor's and dentist's office, so I tried to capture the motion of the beads during one pass through.

In retrospect I would've liked to pick a more plain backdrop - I think the apartments in the back are distracting

  1. yes...a solid background might have exaggerated the blur even more. maybe you could have decreased the shutter speed a bit more...?

  2. Looks like a fun picture, AC. How did u manage make the beads go when I don't see anyone around moving the thing?

  3. "In retrospect I would've liked to pick a more plain backdrop" you should do that and take another shot for sure.. right now, this scene has too much clutter.. bright background and foreground makes it look less pleasing..

  4. Nice one Appu. Yup, the background & texture of the surface could have been different.

    If the shutter was a little slower, would that have given a trail of the cubes moving?
