SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE

SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
11 AUGUST 2018
ZOOM BURST

A word of explanation :-)

I initially tried this technique with my little Nikon but didn't have any success. I then fished out my Nikon D50. I have just noticed ip says this was taken on 1 January 2005!! I actually took this a few days ago! The D50 has been in a cupboard and was probably last used a couple of years ago so I don't understand why it has reverted back to a 2005 date. On 1 January 2005 I was likely in Guernsey and definitely not photographing Coke cans :-)
No doubt there is a logical explanation :-)

And, here comes a wayward link for 'Sight and Sound' :-) Coca Cola can be known as Coke and Coke can also refer to Cocaine. Hope you are following me so far :-) "Truckin" by the Grateful Dead features on their classic album "American Beauty" from 1970. "Truckin" has references to Cocaine. Job done methinks :-)

Yes, the Nikon D50 is a super camera and I think I should use it more often :-)

So graphically composed. If I was a managing director of Coca Cola I'd use this in an advert.

Zoom burst works very fine here. I like it most
when one can still recognize the object. Actually very elegant picture! Congratulations!

I really like how this turned out, Roger, and your framing is perfect for it.

That is strange about the date. Who knows what cameras are thinking. ;-)

Such a good classic song by the Grateful Dead.
