Our whole family went to Zoo Lights tonight.
Although it didn’t really rain on us, an intermittent mist kept the ground wet and reflective.
Another Christmas, another Zoo Lights, another opportunity to take cool, blurry pictures.1As inspired by Aaron Hockley a few years ago and repeated yearly.
Here are a few more…
Tonight we went to the Oregon Zoo to see Zoo Lights. The weather was WET; it rained the whole time. We got hot chocolate near the entrance, rode the train, and walked through most of the lighted areas.
We didn’t linger.
I have more Zoo Lights pictures.
I attempted to duplicate Aaron Hockley’s “My Christmas Was A Blur.” How hard could it be?
Apparently, pretty hard. I took pictures of sheets of Christmas lights while panning and/or rotating my Canon Digital Rebel XT. It didn’t record continuous blurry lines. Instead, I got discrete, blurry blobs. Not exactly the effect I was expecting. (Click the pictures for larger, “clearer” views of my blobs.)
I tried something similar with my cell phone’s video capabilities.
More blobs. And now I feel a little dizzy. *<:-)
Oh well. Ignore Aaron’s awesome picture. This is what I intended. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
