This article discusses a Live ND creative motion test that I did earlier today and shares some corresponding images. Most of us who have cameras that have the Live ND feature typically use it to create ‘smooth water’ images of waterfalls and streams.
There are many other subjects where Live ND can be used to create some interesting creative motion effects. The images in this article were created at the miniature train display at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington Ontario.

Our choice of shooting angles and focal lengths are two of the most important decisions we make with each of our photographic compositions.
We can find an incredible subject, then squander that image opportunity if we use a shooting angle that places the subject against a distracting background. At times our creative execution may fall short if we select a focal length that is not well suited to our desired depth-of-field. Or, fails to frame our subject to leverage its visual attributes. Choices of shooting angles and focal lengths can have a significant effect on eye flow.

Happenstance can be defined as a chance situation. Or something that occurred because of particular circumstances, although it was not planned. As photographers we are often beneficiaries of happenstance. This is regularly the case with bird photography.
This article shares some blue jay pond take-off photographs and discusses how birds can signal their intention to take flight. Some commentary about the use of Pro Capture is also included. These images were photographed handheld through my kitchen window.
