I noticed while shooting that as I adjusted the focus it created an interesting kaleidoscopic effect. So I decided t to do a little experiment. I took a couple frames and put them into video. Sadly I didn&#8217;t get nearly enough frames to really feel like the effect was all it could be, so I looped it up a few times ti give it a little more substance. Next time I hope I remember this lesson and get many more frames to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I am a hobbyist, there was no planning that went into this endeavor. I just got an itch and grabbed my rig and went outside. In my next blog post I will have several stills from this endeavor, which turned out very nicely. I was very pleased with this little session that spontaneously happened a couple days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the near future I may do some kind of shoot with the goal of a much longer kaleido loop. Bring the tripod for some stability and consistency of frame and just shoot a ton of stills while racking the focus. This sounds like fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crepe Myrtle kaleido\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bagpv47GAD4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I took several stills I shot in succession of a crepe myrtle tree using my macro lens.
