Challenge #12 - Motion

I am looking for shots that suggest motion. These don't necessarily have to be frozen action shots, although these certainly imply motion. Good composition of still subjects can imply motion as well as subjects already in motion. Or maybe the camera is in motion. Whatever technique you choose, I want to see the subject and/or background move.


If there is anything unclear about the contest, please post a new thread. But lets try to keep the thread clear of posts other than photos until the end. Good luck!

Coming in for a Landing!

Here is my submission. I know the photos aren't the best in the world, but this is to be motion, remmeber! Facing the sun yesterday (that's why the photo quality is so poor), I got this picture of a duck landing in the water. I just had time to set the camera to multiple shots and started firing away.

Title: Coming in for a Landing!
Camera: Canon S2 IS
Settings: Not sure, I had to take them whatever setting it was on.

Comments: I gave him an 9.5 on the landing

Picture 1 - Flaps out - landing gear down - good steady approach
Picture 2 - We have splashdown - wings tucked in - nice form
Picture 3 - wings crossed (for drag) - sharp left turn to complete the stop

The contest is officially over now. I will have the results later today.

I just want to say that I am really impressed with all the entries. Some meet the contest's requirements better than others, but they are all great shots.

Again, congratulations to all the entries. They are all great shots. But there are a few that stand out to me. Obviously, my decision is based on how well the photo captures motion. But with so many good ones, I had to also use other criteria to judge, like exposure, originality, composition, etc. So, here you are:

1st place - snowrdr - "Screamin’" - The subject is so clear yet the background has a consistent motion blur. Add to that the placement of the motorcycle on the right of the image and the angle of the rider and motorcycle. It "screams" motion.
2nd place - Diminished29 - "making a splash" - Throughout POTN, I have seen these shots and this one is one of the best I have seen. I would like to see any slr owner say anything bad about point and shoots after seeing this. Very clear and the timing was great. The splash and the wave really move.
3rd place - teekay - "Pencil Sharpening" - I really like the motion blur of the hand. The subject is very original and I think the lighting is neat looking. The angle of the composition also adds to the movement.

Stefan
