I don't think that my hands are yet exact enough for making it exactly as the photo I have in mind before shooting, James! I have to make my manual control way more perfect first.
Still trying many other experimental settings of which I expect to get what I want, so let's see wher this gets me.
Cheers,
Nick

Or you could try it by hand like I do. I mean, it often takes me a few tries to get it right, but I don't have to carry around a bunch of extra gear either. Good luck either way and I look forward to seeing more.

Indeed, James, the swirling of the brush strokes is much more dominant on your photo, which creates a stronger impression of motion blur and some more modern look and feel. Perhaps it is also the coloring that makes mine feel rather old fashioned?
Anyway, I do some studies now with that dynamo and rotating metal stics of different lengths mounted on its end. Soon I'll start using two of them simultaneously since the combined vibrations can get chaotic this way, which avoids closed "orbits". Let's see what happens then.
Best wishes,
Nick

Interesting idea to employ a dynamo. This would give a pretty consistant alteration to images. My techniques are hand-held and consequently more varied (more difficult to get right too). You can see here that your brush strokes are like little swirls. Here is one from mine where the brush strokes are more swirly:

Thank you very much, Peter!
In the future I'll be describing some more unusual methods. Let's see what they look like then!

I like it. The technique is unusual and it works. Good to try something dfferent than the long exposure method. Thanks for sharing in such detail how you created the pic.

This is a work of art! The texture and the colours wonderful. The movement and the water beautiful.

Thank you so much for the nice detailed comment, Annemette!
Of course there can be no such thing like "good and bad art". It is only the open and free discussion and the exchange of views that brings the new ideas, which are necessary for creative work.
The clear images with looong exposition times are extremely beautiful to look, indeed. And their beauty remains timeless. It is only that a new impression of the same old thing demands a new way to look at it. And this not for forgetting the old, but for supplementing it with the new, being thus able to widen the own mental horizon.
As about authors claiming to possess the only and eternal "truth" about arts... just forget them! ;-) Or imagine what would have happen if, say Rothko, had listened to them.
Thank you very much and take care.

Haha what a great idea, Nick! I see what you mean. Still I have to confess that I prefer a more clear image maybe with a long shuttereffect, but thatīs very individual. Art of all kinds depends on the spectator - not on objective goals although many authors within the artworld will try to convince us that thereīs good and bad art!
Keep up the creative work!!
Best wishes,
Annemette
