This challenge is for all dgrin members.

It will run from Monday, April 1, 2013 8:00pm PST time (GMT -8) on through Monday, April 15, 2013 8:00pm PST time (GMT -8).

The theme this round for your interpretation will be: Frozen In Motion With Blur

The object here is to slow your camera speed down and speed up the action of your subject! No post processing motion filters should be added please! I will not say this is straight from the camera, as you may adjust small tweeks such as contrast, brightness and color, but please just keep your post editing to that. Its very easy to tell if someone added a filter after the fact.

Also, see if you can have some of the image sharp, yet indicate it in motion with some blur. Here are 2 examples:

1. JMM_8694ed-M.jpg

2. JMMed8587-M.jpg

Editing restrictions listed above!
Your Judge:
1 round 72 Hour Public Vote.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your entry is to be submitted directly into a SmugMug gallery. It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page:

DSS 126 Gallery

Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your EXIF will be embedded in your image, no worries!

To avoid disqualification, read, in full, the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge RULES.

    I love this one.
    I am thinking on two lines here. I can go for an in car shot like this
    DSC_DSC00433_LR-L.jpg

    I can go for a panning shot on a track, something like this
    i-FD6cG69-XL.jpg

    Or something like this!?

    I wish I had an opportunity to recreate this image. It is one of my personal favorites with a touch of motion:

    Panning shots are fine as long as you see the motion blur to create the sense of movement.

    Sharing a shot from a recent shoot.
    Joyce reminded me that I should share this with the everyone here. Since the challenge this time around is " Frozen In Motion With Blur", here is an example of something that would work that was shot one day too early to qualify even if I could enter it. mwink.gif

    I was thinking that I don't have any children or horses to photograph like that, and thought briefly of photographing my cleaning lady vacuuming. And then I remembered - we have a cat.
