Motion is my least favourite area of photography, but it’s also my favourite. The countless shots, shutter-speed adjustments, and angle-changing is all worth it once you achieve that perfect shot.
For the following pictures, I used a variation of shutter speeds. While low shutter speeds (1/6) capture motion well, it often allows too much light, and my pictures turned out to be nothing more than a white-light blur. I had to find that balance that allowed me to capture motion, and also adequate lighting.
While I enjoy capturing sport shots, my favourite motion shots are candid, everyday moments that some people might not even consider ‘motion’ or ‘action’. The following two pictures that were shot from behind are probably my favourite. The one featuring two children was taken on a casual walk in my neighborhood. The second one was taken while crossing a glass-enclosed bridge to the Boeing Museum of Flight air field. It has an almost vortex-like feeling to it.
Some of my shots had humorous outcomes. For example, I had taken multiple pictures of the boys playing volleyball. I didn't realize until later that Kari had managed to appear in the bottom left corner of all of them. I love how oblivious she is to the action around her.
For in Him we live and move and have our being.
