time lapse photography

For this subject, I decided to experiment. I had read an article called "Flower Whirl" in August issue of Popular Photography.I used my 100 macro lens. I photographed flowers at night for 5 to 10 seconds. There was some light from street signs and passing car lights. No tripod was used.I wanted distortion [ no focus]. Sometimes I would hold it steady with the anticipation of a little movement. Other times I would rotate camera or move up and down. Some of distortions could be considered impressionistic flower paintings. It was fun seeing what patterns I could achieve. One looks like a red fireball.
