Week 11/26 #BWProject26
I am always in a hurry to get things done, so I just zoomed in to take this then zoomed out again!
I am not a great one for taking self portraits, there are many much more interesting subjects around, but this is the theme for this week and who am I to fight it? As this week I am focusing on the zoom, this seemed an ideal opportunity to try out different techniques.
With a tip of the blurred hat to those of us taking part in the blurred mentorship run by +Alex Lapidus, I am posting my blurry self portrait image for the B&W project. You can still see it is me, so that works for me.
Are you not able to comment on Google+ because you don't belong? Would you prefer to comment on my blog? It's right here with all my G+ posts on it: https://www.elliekennard.ca .

+Sofie Løve Forsberg how lovely to know that I managed to put a big smile on your face. Thank you so much my friend.
+Ravish Kumar thanks a lot.
+Rhonda Weigandt great description, although the halo doesn't fit! Thank you.
+Zi zo thank you
This put a big smile on my face, Ellie! Both text and what I consider a very elegantly made self-portrait!
🙂
This photo is unusual and I like that it looks like you are almost a halo image and your being pulled down a hallway at lightning speed by some unknown force.

+HQSP Monochrome thank you very much for resharing my picture +Anja Wessels – I appreciate it.

Wonderful shot +Ellie Kennard, you are plainly visible there and the zoom gives it a fun new dimension!
Oh goodie. 🙂
+Sandra Nesbit you know I wouldn't mind! It wouldn't look anywhere near the same, in any case. Tag me when you do so I can be sure not to miss it.
+Valiant Player I wonder which one?
+c.vishesh vichu it is 🙂
+glenda torrence thanks!
So…Ellie…would you mind if I did the same thing?
One of us is blurry this morning
Its different
Great shot
+Sandra Nesbit thanks a lot Sandra. I had fun and came up with lots of different results. The interesting thing is that I have suddenly decided that I am happy with my face not being made up every day. (First time since I was about 16.) So this is a 'bare' selfie, my first. My usual eye make-up would have given a completely different result, much more defined in the eyes.
It's Lovely!! :))
Clever stuff +Ellie Kennard
wonderful portrait +Ellie Kennard great idea!
I like this picture +Ellie Kennard
Such an interesting photo, clever way to take a self portrait 🙂
Beautiful
I love how this turned out, +Ellie Kennard! Very nicely done!
I think this is wonderful. A great self portrait!
Congratulations +Ellie Kennard your photograph has been selected to be proudly displayed at +Photo Mania Canada #photomaniacanada. You will also be added to the Canadian Photographers Circle for May. Thanks, +Mark HELM and +Giselle Savoie
Ellie, this is marvelous…beautiful…and marvelous!
+Janet Patterson thanks very much, Janet. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
+Ursula Klepper thanks very much. Deceptive, though as it was just in … no. I won't spoil the illusion by putting a prosaic reality on it. I'm glad you like it.
I agree with +Ursula Klepper +Ellie Kennard,,,a great take on the theme and the subject matter. Nicely done!
I love it! Like a sun with the rays around you! :o)
+John Dusseault I'm glad you like it. Thanks
really like the distortion effects
+Alison Christensen that is a lovely idea and comment. Thanks a lot!
Thanks +Tisha Montgomery
It has a real 'Cocoon' feel for me – you look quite ethereal. Beautiful work as always Ellie!
Nice!
Thanks very much +Heiko Mahr!
Superb work, such a great blur self portrait!
It is indeed, Ellie 🙂
Thank you very much +Annie Irving
+Eve Aebi isn't it great to try out these new techniques and learn from playing? Thanks!
+Giselle Savoie thanks a lot, Giselle!
Thank you very much +Gernot Glaeser
Thanks +Dylan Johnson – these mentorships are great at
blurringexpanding your horizons!This works really well, Ellie.
I think you did great, +Ellie Kennard​, both with the self portrait and the zoom 🙂
Love it Ellie, perfect for the theme, I'am not a fan of self portraits either. 🙂
Very well done, +Ellie Kennard , nice take on the theme!
Great usage of your newly developed blurry technique!
😀 And coffee (if you like it). That always sharpens things up for me +Christina Lihani – otherwise a good green tea would do it.
You are so adorable +Ellie Kennard! I had some toast — that should help zoom me back into focus!
Thanks a lot +Alex Lapidus
Beautiful!
+Christina Lihani thanks, I hope things zoom into focus for you soon today!
Thanks so much +Dorota Dylka
This is a great effect +Ellie Kennard. It's kinda how I feel this morning!
well done ++
Thanks Sumit! Literally, I guess. 😀 +Sumit Sen
Fantastic! 🙂
+Pat Kight Oh yes! Thanks Pat. 😀
Love it! Embrace the blur…
Glad you like it, +Piotr Edelman! Thanks.
Great wavy effect!
+Mari Luukkonen Thanks a lot, Mari!
This is really great! Well done! :))
Thanks a lot +Alan Bland
+שלמה ארגוב Yes, not easy, but I am in there. Thanks!
It's like a dream. Very well done!
That's it, +William McLean – you know me, always in a hurry to get things done, so just zoomed in and took this, then zoomed out. 😀
התאמצתי וראיתי
Now that is different – and interesting Ellie. Ghost like – or did you call Spaceship Enterprise with…….
"Hey. Beam me up Scottie"😀
Love that +'Veronikki M.' 😀 thanks so much!!
Thanks very much +Julianne Bockius – if I had not been in a blur learning mode in my mentorship I might not have thought of it. Though I do remember taking something similar a couple of years ago. High key worked well with what I had, I thought too.
Sorry, no filter but this….this is bad ass!!! LOVE IT +Ellie Kennard!
It's one way to get over it, +Shelly Gunderson if we are to submit for the theme… 😉
Thanks very much +Joanna Koziara
Love it, Ellie. I never thought of using zoom burst for a self portrait. This is terrific, and I really like the high key b/w.
That's cool! I am not a fan of photos of myself as well.
Lovely effect
+Diana Boyd – it's hard to stop, once you start blurring, as you maybe understand!
Thank you +Lauri Novak
Thanks +Steven Kennard – 😀
sweet blur Ellie
Cool!!
Very cool +Ellie Kennard​
