May 2009 Forum Challenge "Action"

MrsLubner ( ) posted Fri, 08 May 2009 at 11:39 PM

It has made me think that just because a moving part isn't totally focused, doesn't mean it isn't good. I have to see what I can do for a last entry. I've got to do something pretty good to hold a candle to what I've seen here. Come on, Tara... let's see what you've got!

I agree with MrsLubner's comment above. I'd never considered using blurring in a photo to illustrate movement before but it does add to the interest and is eye-catching. Hmmmm.

I"ve got a couple motion shots in my gallery, but nothing new! I'm going out tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I'll get something then. Things are pretty quiet at my house in the middle of the night. LOL! Nothing to shoot here right now.

I was lucky on the shot...it took off just as I hit the shutter.....I had gotten several good shots of it sitting in my tree!

Bill you must have a go at the car light trails, It is so much fun to do.

Following the sugestion of MrsLubner, I came in front of you with one of my photos that match the subject of this Forum Challange!

InfiniteMoon ( ) posted Wed, 13 May 2009 at 5:09 PM

Hope I do this right! My Sister sent me over with this shot i got quite by accident today, once again through my office window.

GhostBear1890 ( ) posted Wed, 13 May 2009 at 5:15 PM

Good shot sis....those little wings are definitely in action! I'm jealous....we don't have any hummers!

Katraz ( ) posted Wed, 13 May 2009 at 5:19 PM

Found another hope you all like it.

InfiniteMoon ( ) posted Wed, 13 May 2009 at 5:22 PM

It scares me because they aren't even nervous with a camera in their face!

InfiniteMoon ( ) posted Wed, 13 May 2009 at 5:22 PM

Kat that is an awesome shot!

auntietk ( ) posted Wed, 13 May 2009 at 5:23 PM

I continue to be impressed ... and envious!! I will keep looking at your wonderful shots, and i will keep looking for things that are moving!

I live in the middle of the forest and I wish sometimes I lived in the city just to get a shot at lights from cars like that!

MrsLubner ( ) posted Wed, 13 May 2009 at 6:10 PM

This really is super. I missed a shot at one last night. Turned the camera on and went to focus in time to see the battery light go on and the camera automatically shut down. :-)

MrsLubner ( ) posted Wed, 13 May 2009 at 6:13 PM

Katraz ( ) posted Thu, 14 May 2009 at 1:16 AM

It doesn't look like it but the kids on the bike and skateboard are over ten feet in the air, not for me.
regards the camera battery I went on holiday took out the camera ,NoBattery, left it at home on charge, had to get it posted to me.

GhostBear1890 ( ) posted Thu, 14 May 2009 at 5:04 AM

I should have mentioned that the shot of the raven above was taken from the back of our Harley at about 50 mph.

Anyway here's my last one...taken on US129 in TN...known to the motorcycle world as the Dragon.

Wow! There are some stunning entries here! I love the "Slip n Slide"!!!!

sigh * Okay, I KNOW it's already the middle of the month, but really ... I don't have a thing to contribute except my enthusiastic appreciation for what everyone is doing.

Maybe I'll break down and post something old ...

Wow, almost 2/3 of the way through the month and no waterfalls yet? I think this splash pool shows some action. It was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk near it.
