Reflections of an Artist: Fine Art Photography with a Splash of Prose (39) – Chaotic Tranquility

For eighteen seconds we jerked the crossbar of yarn around, not at all in sync. My side went up and Nick’s went down, my side got stuck but his side kept moving smoothly. Anyone watching us might have thought we were fighting over the background rather than moving it together, haha. I thought we’d have to redo the photos.
I intended for this scene to look windblown and chaotic, but my plan to use my blow drier on a bunch of hanging strands of yarn totally bombed. Not nearly enough power for the stormy look I was going for. Instead I asked the BF to help me raise and lower the background to blur it.
I was pleasantly surprised at the results, although it was far more serene than I expected. I decided to stop looking for chaos and enjoy the peace I’d found in the storm.
