Greetings, Fellow Chelonian Observers And Other Admirers Of The Slow And Steady Natural Rhythm!
Somebody once said something like...
It's not important if you move slowly, it's important that you do not stop.
All right, that was what I remember of a phrase by Andy Warhole, and I've cited it before, and it refers to artistic progress in general. But also about Life. Specifically ;) Or vice versa, depending on where you stand.
A couple of months ago, I shared a small series of this particular tortoise's run for the unknown.
You can find it Here.
Since then, though, we have moved a little bit further. In our photographer-model relationship. I've processed a few more images.
You can only bring a horse to water...
...hold on...
Camera settings:

Camera model:
Canon EOS 2000D with a 70-200 mm F 4 L USM lens.
...but it's up to it to cause ripple effects.
See? Real ripples.
Same camera settings as in the previous one:
Aperture F4; Shutter Speed 1/800 of a second; Light Sensitivity ISO 100; Focal Length 200 mm.
Camera Settings:

A.K.A. The Tortoise Effect. Oh, there isn't one defined? Now there is. It's what a tortoise, or a turtle, or a very persistent human or other being would do to you if you were a river that only ever flowed in one direction in a predictable river bed and you thought your surface was smooth and all. But there's nothing specifically wrong with it.
It's just...you'd better respect the tortoise. Not for your own sake. But because it's there.
It's hard to explain. Perhaps next time.
Slow and steady...
Peace!

As it is said, slow and steady wins the race.You don't have to rush into things, take things slow and steady , you will surely achieve your aim.
Indeed.
