Monthly Photography Challenge: Motion
^^Jed and his friend Josh racing down the slide!^^
This month's photography theme was motion. What a fun challenge, especially since I have two little boys that are always on the move!
When I photograph my boys at play, I like to freeze the moment by using a fast shutter speed as seen in these sledding pictures I took this winter. I generally don't like blurry photos; they look out-of-focus to me. But since these monthly photography challenges are about stretching myself, I decided to try something new. I slowed my shutter speed and attempted to pan as Jed and Levi rode their bikes past me, hoping to catch a blurry background and little feet to convey movement in a single photo. Miraculously, it worked! I also packed my tripod to the park one evening. I set up my camera to focus on the boys at the top of the slide and closed down my aperture a bit to ensure good focus. Then I let the shutter fly! And there you have it, four pictures compiled into one in Photoshop. I think it looks kind of cool!

These photos are incredible! It looks like you'll be able to capture all the "in-motion" memories of your little guys at play!
