It's always good to get out in the fallen autumn leaves and fling them around (and to fling yourself around in them). And I love taking these swirly pictures while I'm at it – I take them a lot with my mobile phone: you can just twist the phone around quickly in your hands and take a picture halfway through the twist. The part of the picture that’s in the centre of your spin remains relatively clear, while the part on the outside of the picture spins faster and blurs more. Elementary physics, but the effect can be both intricate and magical.
It's only since mastering the technique on my phone that I've also started to do it with my SLR camera too, which offers all sorts of possibilities. Here's one I made earlier with my SLR, using the prominent sycamore leaf as a centre-point for my spin.
The colours of autumn do make me all dizzy and giddy with excitement every year.. Abstract photos can be very good for communicating this sense and the emotion that goes with it,
It works for me. Personally, I wish it could be autumn every day.
