About 30 second exposure stoppping at four points on a path pointing the camera at a cabbage tree (Ti).
The light is unfortunate. I'm looking for a william morris kind of medieval embroidery look. Almost achieved I reckon. Pleased to find a use for the ake ake. It grows so well in Dunedin. Our hardest wood, it's like a willow that holds it's leaves erect. Never noticed it in my old homeland.

Where was your 'old homeland'Ian?I like this new realm you've created recently but what has happened to the other half of the person with the long legs and grass skirt.Is the ake ake carniverous or what?
Fascinated, Tony

Hi Tony. Still New Zealand but I moved from the warmer North of The North Island to the chillier South of The South..

Only carnivorous in the sond full moon of the fifth year of its life. We DO have a carnivorous shrub. Honsetly it profits from rotting beasties tangled in its branches.

It eats sheep!

But that doesn't explain what happened to the lady in the grass skirt?????

You've got an interesting and mysterious look here... Very moody effect.

Cheers!

Unfortunately the series of the "watercolor-like lines" seems to be finished, but more than fortunately we have something else exactly as interesting. Was it diffuse lines before, so we get hard echoes of sharp details now, which indeed brings the special character of medieval embroidery. I don't understand why you consider the light to be unfortunate, Ian! For me it is an enhancing line of the whole "poem" rather than anything else here.

Cheers!

It looks like some similar images I was trying to do but using multi-exposure, which at the end flows into the same river, Ian, provided of yourse that your exposures from the four different points were of a considerably longer duration than repositioning the camera/tripod between them. So, the action of repositioning didn't have enough time to burn on film/ccd under the low light conditions.

The problems is (for me) that the four subsequent exposures do not participate with the same weight - i.e. darkness doesn't burn on some already burned part of the image. I can't say if this weakens the embroidery look, which is already very well present on this image.

Cheers!

Nick
