Windy Palms

Welcome to Day One of the new opticDistraction! We hope you all enjoy the new design. Please let us know what you think of it, especially if it can be improved in any way.
This image is another night shot from Long Beach, California. This photo was not post-processed at all save for a crop… the color is from the Los Angeles light pollution, and the blur is a result of a very cloudy, windy night and long exposure. Unlike the lighthouse image, I wouldn’t change anything about this one!

This is one of my favorite photos to date. The angle offers such a different perspective, and you really get a sense of movement with the blurred palms. Great job.

such a cool shot. i love how sharp the tree is - until the fronds, which look awesome too. i think the site is killer - love the idea of two contributors from different locations. as for improvements, you should consider setting a valign=”top” for the “Description” label above… it’s kinda confusing as is. also, slightly larger text with a bit more contrast might help the readability. overall, this site rocks and i already grabbed your feed.
