Finally! Something I actually can do. LOL Time for the winter shut-ins to hit the river for fun in the sun now that we are getting a few nice warm spring days.

Wow!  What a great idea!  This isn't something I normally do, so it WILL be a challenge.  Nice!  I'm going to keep my eyes peeled.  :|

:-)  This is something I do all the time but usually by mistake. I can take a stationary object and put a motion blur on it without even trying. LOL

 Okay, in honor of the official start of the dreaded lovebug season here in Florida, here is "action two ways" LOL  A little flying and a little loving.  Had to find something in the backyard and these little nasties are the only thing out and about today.

Try as I might, I can't seem to get a well focused picture of a bird in flight; however, in this instance, I wasn't trying for that...it was sitting nicely for a portrait when someone walked up behind me just as I took the shot... result? One more slightly blurred action shot. LOL

This is a pic I took while on our sailing trip in the Keys and out to the Dry Tortugas. These dolphins were running with us while we were under full sail with a good wind. I am going to post the original size in my gallery. This pic I sized down for this.

This is a resubmission of my pic. I forgot to check the KB size of the original and now I have gotten it down below the stated limit.

I just love McEnroe! He's so expressive! Or maybe its the photographer that makes him that way? As for Hurling, I think decie has converted me. I've never seen it here and I can't get enough of his great game shots!  That water shot is great. Lately I've been working with moving water and its not so easy.

Just heard what the challenge subject is for May and just happen to be photographing wild birds in my backyard...hence, no problem of submitting two pics taken yesterday. The pics aren't technically very good but they show motion!

First pic is of a departing red-bellied woodpecker...sorry for the tail shot:-)

In the process of figuring out how to shoot these fast movers, I was only using a shutter speed of 1/160 of a second. Seeing this shot, I went to 1/250th next.

This pic normally wouldn't be used by me but seems to fit the challenge???

Those bird shots are like mine... dang if they would just flap a little slower or stop twitching on the perch! LOL  I can honestly appreciate them and enjoy them. As for the Hurling shot... good heavens! Stunning action but for me to see And maybe even more stunning for the guy getting clobbered!

Here's another Red-bellied Woodpecker being active.

This guy dowsn't like the millit seeds (little round hard seeds) and is looking for the peanuts included in the songbird seed mixture.

He throws seeds to the deck...and my friendly chipmunk is 100% satisfied with the result.

I can't believe it...this is number 3 for me already.

Bill:)

Awesome Turnaround! The speed with which those balls are moving is sooooo well done! Makes my head spin! :-)

Bill, that is enough to make me break down and roll on the floor with laughter. I used to watch my pigeons eat seed and they couldn't just pick one up and eat it....NOOOOOOOOO... they had to sling seed everywhere and find one, just the same as the ones they'd just slung around the room, and then they'd walk around with it like it was some great prize it'd found... more of their meals ended up on the coop floor than got in them. Looks like this guy of yours has some preferences about his food as well.
