I don’t think I would be the only one dancing joyfully to the spring breeze. True, the wind blows so hard sometimes, throwing me off balance. However, I am still able to find fun. Whether it be a pinwheel, wild flower or clothes, anything that dances to the beat of the wind is  a fun subject for Ca’em.  Ca’em slowly becoming a camera-holic… Is this a welcoming thing??  The cool breeze leaves a bright touch to my pictures since the ‘When spring comes to Ca’em’s camera’ posting.  Today’s photos are more to refresh one’s eyes and hearts, rather than to share photo-taking technique. However, a gloomy sky awaited Ca’em instead of a bright subject. An early train ride to the destination encounters an unexpected storm warning. What an irony! The tripod hanging on my shoulder suddenly feels much heavier. Will I be able to use the tripod at all?

Turn!! Pinwheel!!

Although there was no blue sky because it was the morning right after the rain had stopped, the colorful pinwheels make the pictures vivid. One artist had named the countless pinwheels ‘Hill Of Wind’. FYI, it is the wind blowing from the north that moves the pinwheels, as if telling the story of how the Korean peninsula was split into two. The work ultimately hopes for good news with the wind. Hmmm… I had lamented that I was not lucky with weathers, but the dynamic pinwheel eased my upset mind.

Thank you for welcoming me, pinwheel!

The photo-taking session resembled a speed race of pinwheels. White, yellow, blue and red all turning joyfully! To capture the fast-turning pinwheels, I lowered the shutter speed. However, because of the amount of light being day time, I was not able to capture the subject successfully at night time setting (0.5s). Although I was not able to adjust the value of iris as freely as I would have liked to, I still tried to set up the best environment for WB500(HZ10W). At 1/60s setting, I tried to capture the shaking subject. This is similar to the subject of the last posting, but the trace left during day time gives a fun twist. With WB500(HZ10W), you can capture a fast-moving pinwheel!

A pleasant reminiscence – Everyone has memories of holding a pinwheel to the sky and running around. Running at full speed, trying to turn the pinwheel even when there was no wind. I hope the pictures today help to bring back those fun memories for a while. The sound made by thousands of pinwheels was similar to tens of thousands of crickets flying the sky. And here is the video. The scene was so spectacular that I wanted to share it with all of you.

Enjoy with your eyes! And ears!
