This week, the Challengers and I are photographing “movement.” Capturing movement isn’t hard. Don’t sweat bullets over it. Your execution may become more calculated than other times but after all, this is a challenge.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. All I ask is that you try – that’s all I’m going to do too. But since we’re moving into the weekend and I haven’t even tried to snap a photo yet, I thought a little inspiration might get the old gears turning.

Slow down your shutter speed. Try a darker setting. Pull out your tripod. Experiment with panning. Shoot from above. Shoot from below. Just push yourself – you’ll be more satisfied in the end.
Susan - OK, I admit I did panic a little when I heard “movement.” But like you said, it’s a challenge, so I’m going to give it a shot. Get it? A shot? Nevermind.
Leesha - Ohhh this WILL be fun!! I will for sure try it out this week! I have done some movement photos before and always thought they were fun to experiment with! Good luck with your ‘move’. :)
Brooke - @Susan – Love it!
@Leesha – Glad to see your back in the game. BTW, I’ve been enjoying your blog.
The Good Greatsby - I love the Times Square shot. I’d love to be able to do this.
