Hey everyone, thanks for participating in last week's challenge. This week's theme is 'distortion' -- interpret it how you like! Could be lens distortion or some other kind of distortion.

How time distorts things around us.

Unremarkable rocks on the coast of Cyprus. There is no plot. No light. No color. But just set the shutter for 0.3 seconds and the rock turns into Shakespeare's Broken Heart.

Nikon z6 z24-70 @35 f22/0.3s + ND filter

Without a tripod.

Mirror image of boats at the marina reflecting off perfectly still water, flipped upside down, giving the lines and masts an electric buzz like quality.
