Lupine Impression

by Michael A Blanchette

In June, lupines grow in abundance within Acadia National Park. It's a good time to experiment with creative effects, like this impressionistic rendition made by panning the camera during a long exposure.
Equipment: Nikon D3x with Nikon 24-70mm lens

Have to say I don’t like it-it almost makes me
dizzy. Would have liked to have seen the Lupines
without the special photo effect.

WOnderfully creative! Lupine are one of my favorites!

Afterthought; It is refreshing to see this type of effect applied to the Lupine, so often one sees Lupine photos in a normal, fixed pose.

Monet would be envious! Very nice effect–makes the viewer feel as if she is standing in the field with the wind gently blowing……………..
