Was playing tennis tonight, not a breath of wind and on the way home noticed some very nice Rudbeckia (Gloriosa Daisy) and wondered what would happen if I used a fairly long exposure and moved the plants part way through. I thought of hooking them with a coat hanger, then it occured to me I could blow on them and when actually shooting I actually used my arm to knock the stems and cause a real sway.
Of course the wind came up just as I arrived and getting complete stillness was impossible. Still, this is more or less what I had envisioned.
4 seconds, f22 (broke my own rule about not going below f16 so I could get long exposure - really must buy a neutral density filter), 90 mm. tilt and shift lens tilted to keep flowers in focus.
