Amy's Entry: Fall - One of the pics this time that really caught movement beautifully. The leaves are blurred and the kids aren't. Very nice job, Amy!
Sandy's entry: I really like you! - OK Mom I got it. I saw your vision. The tongue is moving. Even if it doesn't convey motion on the whole it's a really cute pic.
Mike W's : Smoky Mt. Waterfall 2nd Place - A great example of what a slow shutter speed can really do. The thing to look for is the clarity of the stationary objects (rocks)contrasted with the movement (water)
Steve's entry: Noodle Surfing - A GORGEOUS example of "caught in the act. In mid air. Great camera work!
Arce's Entry: The winning throw. - Again, in mid air and catching the movement in the actual throw with the subject's arm over her head. (Yes I did just talk about myself in the third person)
Julie's Entry: Running for the train. 1st Place! - Now this is a great example of stationary objects being clear (you can read the words on the signs and see the detail in the columns) and the blur of movement (train and person)
Michael O's entry: Sea Spray - Sort of a mix of caught in the act and actual movement. The burst of water was caught nicely by Michael. I know he waited a looooong time for this shot.
Michele's entry: On The Move - You can see the blur of movement in Eli's left hand. Excellent job, subtle but effective.
Rob's entry: Moving on the beach 3rd Place! - Movement everywhere. Caught in the act? The wave and the subject. If you look closely she's not even touching the ground!
Zach's Entry: Manatee - Water ripples and the slow movement of the manatee. Great caught in the act but I'm more impressed with the way the clarity of the water was captured. Are those hot dogs? Aren't Manatees vegetarians?
Josh's entry: There is something fishy here. 4h Place! - Fish move around. A lot. Josh caught a ton of them in the act. Awesome job!
