Submission: Take an action self-portrait of what you did this weekend.


Well here was my exciting weekend - this is the 5 minutes when I wasn't sneezing. Wanted to get the front of the mower in focus and then blurr backwards. Camera position was difficult, so used the beanbag effect on the bottom of a lap-tray. Then took ages trying to get the sun to blow the sky without leaving lens flare. The action part was the blade of grass desparately trying to get away from the blades...

Good angle, and like the way the bright orange of the lawn mower contrasts with the darker background. Personally, I would have had the depth of field the other way round, since it was a portrait, but you achieved what you set out to. Amazing, that the photo looks really easy to take, but wasn't!
