a new DSLR daring for a challenge

Image: Using a DSLR camera near white smoke  (here)

enthusiast called upon for a tryout
a new DSLR daring for a challenge
spectacular surroundings sought
though used to capture conflagration

insisting on less of shock explosions
interspersed with a soft background
what better than billowing sections
snatched on grounds of innocence

rising white smoke on moving platform
made for slow belly dancing swirls
wrought with unending wild forms
still a picture of sexy twists and twirls

creations amidst changing blue lights
smoke screens pushed by a slight draft
reminiscent of skies with clouds in flight
migrating birds in formation flying pass

a chosen picture of poetry in motion

  1. You've outdone yourself here, Hank. I like how you've seen the scene around the image as well as the image itself or the POV of the photographer. Nice.

  2. Amazing the greatly varying paths conjured by a single image, and where our words take us. For me, it was reaching from the mists of the past to what the future may hold.

  5. This is beautiful, Hank. I especially liked the middle two stanzas with their graceful images of twirling and the more ominous ones of explosions and billowing smoke. Good to read you again!

  7. ". . . rising white smoke on moving platform
    made for slow belly dancing swirls . . ." A marvelous image, as it captures the motion a camera tries to still. Definitely an "enthusiast" is writing here, hank!

  12. Great images here with the smoke. Like when we were kids finding creatures in the cloud shapes. I like the P.O.V. you chose as well.
