Macro Speed Challenge #11

Objects in Motion


I've always been intrigued by how motion is captured in still photography... For example how the moving weights in my watch show up as a solid object when in reality they are discrete shapes or how a fast shutter speed can "freeze" a drop of water in mid air. Anything that moves or is moving is allowed... Have at it everyone...

---------------

This week appears to be mostly all wet... with a number of you taking pictures of liquid... (not a bad thing as some of these entries are extremely cool)

We started off with Daniel2000's liquid marbles... which has a liquid of a unique color and I'm curious to know how you got the several distinct "marbles" of water...

genodm's: "Braking" was the only photograph submitted this this week that didn't have some sort of liquid directly involved... I am curious what kind of brake it is... and I love the lighting...

John_B's is more of an abstract and although it's not something I'm likely to do It is a very neat picture... (it seems like something I might see in an art gallery :)...)

Monty's entry is an interesting photograph... when I first looked at the picture I didn't catch what was going on... but after a bit I noticed that there were coins in the bottom of the glass and my fiancee and I both thought it was a really neat effect.

Lavanut's photograph is probably my favorite concept I really like that you can see the candle inside the nearly perfect sphere of a water droplet.

frenchfx: This picture is very timely... It looks cold... and it's very cold and icy here right now...

So to the winner...

you all aren't kidding that this is hard... because there are a number of great entries but I think I have to give the win to Lavanut... with a close second by genodm and right on his heals is John_B (and btw... I really want to know how you did this...)

Thanks everyone and I really look forward to next weeks challenge... :)

Congrats lavanut, your turn to suffer! :-)

The brake is the disc on the front of my bicycle (that's never used)... I tuned the bike upside down, lit it with a Home Depot worklight and gave the wheel a spin. Took a few shots to get one that looked good.

Monty, it took me a couple of days to "see" your shot as well. Nicely done.

wonderful shots by everyone this week! I didn't have any time to devote but really enjoyed seeing what everyone came up with...

Daniel: you really just keep showing what a great lens that Sigma 70-300 APO Macro really is...I had one and loved it but chose my 55-250 for the IS, which I need for the most part. But mine was a super copy and part of me did not want to sell it off, though it went to another POTN'er.

And congrats to lavanut...though I am becoming juuuust a bit concerned with your constant quest for fire...hehehehe...at least this time it was around something liquid. Hopefully is was not a FLAMMABLE liquid... ;)


Real men shoot Pentax because we're born with our own Canon's!!
{Ok...ok, some of use just have a PnS but it it always makes me happy! :D}
Pentax K5, K20D, Three Amigos (Pentax FA 31/1.8 Limited Silver, Pentax FA 43/1.9 Limited Silver, Pentax FA 77/1.8 Limited Silver), Pentax DA 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited, Sigma 24-60/2.8
