This image was created with the Canon 70-200mm f\/2.8L IS II lens<\/a> (hand held at 200mm) and the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV<\/a>. ISO 50. Evaluative metering +2\/3 stop: 1\/4 sec. at f\/14 in Tv Mode.<\/p>\n

Amazingly, this fall color blur was created in the driveway of my home in central Florida where a single maple tree showed some nice reds and yellows in December of 2010. I panned diagonally downward while jiggling the camera to achieve the flame look. Denise Ippolito<\/a> taught me this technique (and lots of otheres) while we were working on “A Guide to Pleasing Blurs<\/a>.” <\/p>\n

For Your Critique: Image #18<\/h3>\n

The image is presented here for your critique; feel free to praise it or rip it to shreds. Would you keep it or delete it? Let us know why either way, what you like or what you hate. What would you have done differently?<\/p>\n

Over the course of the next week or so I will present two additional images in this series for a total of twenty in all. The last will be followed by several revelations including two major ones. <\/p>\n

One of the very best ways to grow as a photographer is to look at as many good images as possible. I do that often in books, by checking out contest result web sites, by critiquing images on Bird Photographers.Net (BPN<\/a>), by visiting the web sites of the world’s best photographers, and during image critiques and by encouraging image sharing on our BAA Instructional Photo-Tours (IPTs<\/a>).<\/p>\n
