Yeah, pretty much. I shoot a lot trying to get what I'm after. I did a lot less experimenting when I was shooting film. Now I feel comfortable shooting all kinds of maybes to see how far I can take things and what sorts of results I can create.
This one is tough because the shutter time is so small (1/8 second) and so that motion has to be rather sudden to capture the effect correctly. If I had more control of my ap in this camera I could use that to my advantage, but we have to work within the limitations presented to us.
Let me know how it goes.

I´d be happy to learn how to control motion making a photo like this. I guess it´s a question of getting out there and do some trial and errorlearning?

It really looks very impressionistic, James. Excellent work that is very appealing to me. Thanks for adding the link to this one.
Best wishes for the sunday

Raquel - I prefer the brushstrokes created in this one, but I like the other orientation. Guess I'll have to go back for a third shoot. Hahaha. Oh, darn. Thanks for taking a look.

Jacqui - Thank you. I revisted this location for another shoot and will be posting some of those images soon. I wanted to try for a landscape orientation, but I also tried some new wigglings.

Marija - Better late than never, eh? Thanks for looking.
I included the reflections in the water exactly because I wanted to emphsize that associate with scenes reflected on water.

Susie - I was thinking the same thing. I tried a few crops that moved it in that direction, but felt they each had too much to cut out of the image--don't want to get rid of the interesting bits.
I am planning to revisit this scene and try for the same thing in landscape.
Thanks for looking.

I love the colour and overall effect James ~ would be interesting to see this done in landscape form but the vertical is effective given the angle of brush strokes... susie

Khaled - Thank you. This shot has the same tonal qualities as some of the early impressionist work. Take this painting by Carot ("Vue de Mantes") for example:
