Assignment 23 - Motion

  • 09-10-2009 11:27pm

    Ladies, Gentlemen and those who are undecided, the theme for the next assignment is Motion

    This time round we're looking for pictures which convey a sense of movement.
    Doesn't have to be fast action, it can be slow milky water or maybe clouds across a moon or whatever. It's up to you.
    The main criteria is that when you look at the image the first thing that you see is movement of some sort.
    This is an area that I don't feel particularly confident in so I'm looking forward to challenging myself.
    Most of all, get out and take some pictures and enjoy the challenge!

    General rules apply:
    *Photos must be in by 2 weeks of given task - closing date Saturday 24th October, 9pm.
    *No old photos. Only photos taken with this task in mind qualify - sorry. Therefore, dated 9th October onwards.
    *Photos must be on the given task.
    *ONE photo per post. Post as many as you like.
    *C&C to be encouraged - but be nice about it.
    *Stretch yourself - no limitation to what you can do to produce the image.
    *Next task/subject to be chosen by person who has the most thanks after their post (must include a picture in the post ).

    Here's a few of my feeble examples:)

    OK - this isn't quite full of motion, but it's the closest I've taken so far this weekend - it's one of my mother's cats making the smart choice to get off my car when he saw me coming

    Well know you know where the builder dumped all the rubbish during construction. You never know he might also have been taking rubbish in from other places too! I seen sub-floors to houses collapse and on investigation they found the rubbish from a local grave yards used as back fill, old wreaths and all!!

    I think its the 2 white lines plus your angle, looks great, try it with person more in motion more blured, cause the white lines would really add to it.

    Started feeling a bit dodgy actually, hanging off the balcony with a telephoto lens :D
    I really like that long exposure of yours. All that full on yellow/gold is amazing.

    I was waiting for me bus outside custom house, rested the camera on the steps (a clean part !!) waited for the traffic to pass by, that one was a Dublin bus.

    Over the last few weeks there have been quite a few people with camera/tripods floating around, I seen these 2 lads taking some photos on Monday and thought I'd head over for a bit of a chin wag, just to ask about lens n tips... got the cold shoulder :( Same about 2 weeks ago. Maybe it's just cause it's late at night and people are weary of their gear. :confused:

    Im around there every Mon+Wend 930-10pm with a A2 folder under my arm!

    try adding before the 'http' and at the end. All we can see is the link. Or try search for 'adding pictures' in the forums.

    Not expecting fireworks with this one, just found an old photo of mine from a few years ago, fit the bill I guess :)
    Only wish I had been shooting in RAW back then :(
