So, I went to my 2nd photography class I signed up for on Wednesday nights. Very interesting and trying to keep up with all the talk about lighting, ISO, etc. And then he shows up a demonstration on how to shoot a picture to show 'motion'. Not really something I have ever cared about but it was cool what he was showing us. Then he tells us that our assignment for the week is to bring back 2 photos on showing motion.
I have a few ideas but want something that will really be good. Anyone have ideas they would like to share on this and how to do it?
Oh almost forgot to mention that I went to the photo club I now belong to the next night, (thursday). It meets once a month and this was my first night.
They have an assignment each month or actually it's a theme that you are assigned that you take pictures of and then they have a contest to see which picture wins 'picture of the month'.
The subject this month?? 'MOTION'! For some reason I think that has to be the least interesting subject to do. Give me nature, landscape, cold, snow, emotions, something..but 'Motion?
My humble suggestion for this chilly time of year: An open-shutter shot of the moon and/or the stars.
One of the most intense examples of motion in static art I've seen was the statuary in the Arc de Triumph on the Champs Elysee in Paris. The horses seemed to be bursting from the stone.
Good luck on your project, Patti. Hope you'll use this thread to regularly share your projects.

mmmmmmmmmmmm
The ways to show motion are endless.
my first thought was something needs to be stationary to show motion in the active object.
But then the the object could be staionary the camera could be in motion such as a shot taken from a moving car.
or the moving object could be still and the background is moving because the camera is traveling at the same speed as the object.
I think you get my ideas pk
good luck and please post your images on theBubbler

....Now, a very great man once said
That some people rob you with a fountain pen
It didn’t take too long to find out
Just what he was talkin’ about
A lot of people don’t have much food on their table
But they got a lot of forks ’n’ knives
And they gotta cut somethin’....

Many digital camera have the same features a film camera might have. I don't know but I'm assuming PK is using a film camera?
Well everyone is getting me inspired here.
And to answer your question Dave, no, I am not using a film camera. I have the option to use either of my Digital Camera's..my Canon Rebel or the Nikon D50.

Glad to hear we're helping in the inspiration department (a chance to return the favor).
Both are excellent cameras.
More on motion...implied motion. Snowflakes coming down. One hits the lens and melts. Appropriate for this time of year. Catching a drop from an icicle.
I have an idea for you, PK. I just thought of it last night and I want to try it now. Take some water and add food coloring. Then go outside and toss it up in the air and snap a pic as it comes down. Maybe get one of your kids to throw while you shoot. Hopefully you have a light colored background to do this.
I don't know if this other idea will work. Boil some water and throw it up in the air. With it being as cold as it is, it might come out interesting or it might look boring. Just have to experiment.

How unique. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to do it in the dusk, or even night with the white of the snow and the spot light on the house lit. I'm wondering if light of the day may take away from it. I wonder if there is fluorescent colored food dye. I think there are neon colors or glow in the dark. Another thought would be to use a water soaker gun and shoot it up in the air so it would come down more evenly then just throwing it. Another thought to do it along side the fence that has snow on it. Might me an interesting idea for a background. Or if it would snow (am I saying snow??) lol at night so you have a mixture of the colored water with the snow coming down. I have some great shots of the snow falling a few winters ago.
I'm interested in the hot/cold temp idea too. I'll have to think about this.
I have a couple of ideas also. Will let you all know what we went with.
