OK – I cheated. It’s not Photoshop Manipulations…I created this in
LightRoom. Never tried any funky stuff before but it is definitely another
aspect of photography to explore.
Saw your posts Mandrake and had to try something “a little outside the box” too.
Will keep working at it and hopefully improve along the way.

I like it Dale… Very cool.
I think I remember it as “Flower Power”.
Could that be right?
Which Lr tool did you use to create the rays emanating from the flower’s center?
I was thinking of throwing my camera against the wall a la Jackson Pollock to see what new, marvelous image would result. I decided against it. There are limits.

Used dodge and burn for shadows and highlights. I should have darkened the center to
black as a super nova turns into a black hole but that’s really pushing it. Thank God you
decided against the Jackson Pollack approach.

The rays from the centre resulted from the slow exposure and manual focus and no vr
while quickly going from 18-55mm with the lens. Then I highlighted the lighter
and darker areas slightly. I also used a tripod for stability.
I’ve seen some great effects created by people who do this.

Dale.. OK, you had me confused on your first explanation, but I decided not to push it.
Yes, zooming with open shutter is tried and true.
I can readily understand how this would produce your result.
I haven’t tried it yet, but will.

I would suggest that you focus on a fairly bright object as your
centre of interest and experiment with different camera settings.
As I stated above – I have seen some very impressive results when
done properly. The image I posted was just a test done on our balcony.
Have some fun with it and see what happens.
Dale.
