Assignment: Things in Motion
Don't be bashful! If you want comments, give comments. You don't need to be an expert photographer to express your opinion about the work of others. You don't need to go into great depth. A simple remark about cropping, composition, color, subject matter, etc. can be of just as much help to a budding photographer as an in-depth critique.
Action shots can be tricky if you want to show a subject in motion as opposed to freezing a subject in action. Freezing an image is easier because you can set a quick shutter speed and snap away — catching people and things in mid-air. Showing somebody or something in motion is more complicated because you have to adjust your shutter speed to show motion without the entire picture looking blurry or too soft. Take a photo of someone or something in action and show movement. Your image can be an animal, an athlete, a car, or anything that moves. Post your best to the Web site and describe the lighting challenges you faced while taking the photo.
