I took Razz and Chris’s advice and went out experimenting yesterday. In search of motion, I took a full 4GB card worth of images on a intermittently sunny but very windy day.
I parked along side roads and took photos of cars. I parked above roads and took pictures of cars. I parked looking up at an interstate and took pictures of passing trucks.
I took me some motion photos, people, but My Motion Mastery (The 3 M’s) is no where in sight. This is hard to do.
About 500 yards from my house, I stopped and took the last shot of the day out my side window of this tree. Did I say it was a windy day?
As it turns out, it is the only image I am keeping from the whole day but what I learned would fill a chest.
If you want to follow along with my motion mastery efforts (at this point, I am a master blur-er):
You can check with this link periodically as I update this folder when I have a new image.
#1 thing I learned so far is that it would have cost me a bloody fortune to “learn” motion photography in the old analog world.
I am going to two Halloween parades tomorrow morning. One is 8 years old and the other is five years old. Their respective classes will be marching around their school in their Halloween costumes.
Another test of my motion mastery coming up.
