Photo Challenge: Motion

This month's Personal Photo Challenge theme is motion, something I'm just beginning to learn about when it comes to photography. Here are some of my experiments.


You have to look closely, but the water was moving, which produced that pretty blur.


My sisters and I have been working at emptying our parents' house this summer. It's a very difficult but nostalgic task. Before my oldest sister moved our great grandfather's Victrola to her house, I took a lot of photos.


This was taken at our tiny county fair a couple of weeks ago. I had fun wandering around the midway experimenting with the camera. To see more photos from my evening at the fair, read this post.


I'm linking up with A Personal Photo Challenge. Visit the link to see what others have done with this month's theme of motion. Thanks to Donna for hosting!!

  1. Hi Nancy, your "movement" photo's are so wonderful. I'm really loving the first one, the stream so daintily flowing over the rocks. I'm new following.

  4. This subject wasn't a challenge for you at all! You nailed it. The flowing water over the rocks is dreamy and beautiful. The moss on the rocks makes my heart sing! It takes a longer exposure to capture that image, and perhaps you used a tripod to steady the shot? I had to laugh out loud at the second one. Great idea and execution! And county fairs are the rage this time of year, so a rotating ferris wheel is a perfect subject to showcase movement.

  10. Your movement shots are wonderful. The blurred water is one effect I'd like to try sometime. The ferris wheel is so much fun whirling round and round.
