More ICM (intentional camera movement)

Found these tall boys up Little Cottonwood

A Small Slice Please

Sure, who doesn't love photographs of sunrises and sunsets, big sweeping vistas of mountain ranges, etc. But the truth is, I enjoy looking for the "intimate landscape" (landscape without a horizon). The small details that make up the big picture. More often that not, you'll see people with cameras walk right past these little jewels on their way looking for that crowd pleasing big landscape.  I spotted these out the window of the Jeep as I drove up Little Cottonwood Canyon. They were growing out of the cracks in the granite mountains in the canyon. (As always - click on image to enlarge)

Abstract

Very close up of the hull of a dry docked boat in Sausalito. What is that thing? An alien conducting an orchestra (think Close Encounters of the Third Kind)?  I'm pretty sure it's something.

127 Second Time Exposure

This turned out just the way I envisioned it. The long exposure captured the cloud movement and blurred the movement of the water giving the whole image a kind of ghostly look. A little leftover fog didn't hurt.

I was glad it picked up the San Francisco skyline and the Bay Bridge (if you squint).

Zoo Portrait of Polar Bear.

Feeble attempt to create an impressionist look to a photo by adding motion, and elongating (up and down) the image and applying texture overlays. The idea wasn’t to take a picture of Linda, with Lara holding Helena, but to create an impression of two unrecognizable figures cavorting in the surf

Any ideas for a title or caption?

Apparently, she doesn't like the purple ones.
