Motion Experiment #1 from LittlePurpleCow Productions on Vimeo.
Can you believe that it took me four days to open the box? I knew I wanted to savor it. To focus. My friend Tamar and I talked about this phenomenon a few weeks ago. "You mean, if you get a letter in the mail, you don't open it right away?" she asked. Oddly enough, I don't. I'm not sure why because the excitement is certainly there. I'm eager, but I wait. I wait for just the right time when my mind is ready to experience the moment completely.
So, today was the day. I opened the box to extract and hold my Nikon D90, a digital SRL that shoots HD video. I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it. This is the first in a series of ten motion experiments to come. I shot this with my 50mm 1.4 lens to explore bokeh in motion.

brilliant!
How fun! how fun!!!
I am now very intrigued!
I think that is so cool. I love that you do not open letters right away...me neither.
bokeh in motion -- what is bokeh, still or in motion? thanks, and waiting for the #s 2-10!
Bokeh is the "out of focus" area of a photograph. You create bokeh using a lens with a shallow depth of field and adjusting the aperture of your lens to a low f/stop number. If you use a point-and-shoot camera, often the auto portrait setting will focus on the person in view and blur the background (or create bokeh) for you.
looks like lots of fun over at your place! love the bokeh in motion.
This is such a great piece...the motion is excellent! I bet the kids had fun :) I confess, I'm like you...I don't open mail or packages right away...I too like to be ready for the moment to experience what's inside and then savor it in MY own time. :)
Stephanie, this is UBER cool!!!! I just got a D90 a few weeks ago too, but didn't even think about doing anything interesting w/ the video!
That's so fun to watch as you come in and out of focus in that hilarious & not very typical living room way.
four days just to open the box?.. hiehehe.. funny
