Inspiring Photo: Spin Cycle #1618473

Spin Cycle

Uploaded: January 06, 2006

Description

A dizzying view of the fall foliage in Northeast Ohio, taken back in October '05.

For this shot, I wound my body like a rubberband and then fired the camera's shutter as my body recoiled. Shutter speed was at 1/15 second to record the circular motion.
