#272: Speed or Motion
Posted By: kkoether, 01-14-2014, 11:05 PM

First off thanks to mde1970 for hosting last weeks challenge. I would have had a tough time with that one also.


This weeks challenge is "Speed or Motion". This is one of my favorite types of photography. My example is of a race car but speed or motion can be anything that gives the viewer a sense of speed. Good Luck!!!





This challenge will run until Tuesday, 21 January, midnight PST.

The fine print:
1. Post one photo (max 1024 X 1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single photo in this thread. If it's not obvious, explain what motivated you to submit the photo and how you feel it represents the weekly theme.
4.The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5.The judge will pick the winner, who will then host and judge the next week's challenge.
6.The challenge closes after seven days.This allows a day for the judge to pick the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung) DSLR is acceptable.
8. Photos can be from any time frame, not just the week of the current challenge.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge of the next week's challenge, the winner will PM the #2 winner and pass on the baton to that person to host and judge the next week's challenge.

Good One!

Hi Keith, congratulations on last week's win, fine photo!
I'll give this week's subject a try, one of my favorite camera 'tools' is the shutter speed dial. If I can remember to take it out of Av, that is!
The Corvette photo is from one of the Golden, Colorado cruises this past Summer. I've also posted it on the 'Gearheads' thread, hope that doesn't disqualify the shot? It hasn't been entered in any contests, IIRC.
Anyway, K10D, Sigma 28-70mm (I think) @ 63mm, f/5.6, 1/90s, ISO 100, EV 0.5, tripod with pan head.

Speed-motion with a dash of kids

I'm going with my gut on this one.Any pic with with frightened kids and hair flying added to the mix of speed and motion is a good combination.This is the Pirate Pendulum ride that they have at many carnivals.--charliezap
