Day 45 - Moving Target (Movement)/Selina

I was hoping this would be so much easier, but I decided that I wanted to try something new.  So, I waited until it got dark this evening and headed out to try to take pictures as the cars went by.  I got some shots that were much clearer than this one, but this is the one that showed the movement I gave it by slightly moving the camera.  I shot this in "bulb" mode and covered the lens with a baseball cap between the cars driving by so that I would have more than one set of lights, but because I wanted to show a bit of movement too, I also give the camera a very slight movement to show the lines jumping around.

Day 45: Movement/Heather

I asked to move "movement" to today because I knew I was going to be at the Adult Soapbox Derby cheering on a friend. I thought that would be a great event to capture movement and was hoping to get a great shot of his car to use. What I ended up with was a lot of blurry shots taken in auto mode and some really cool shots taken in action mode.

I had one shot that I love but wasn't really sure if it really captured the theme, so I polled the audience-meaning I asked my co-worker and boss-and they said it did. This was taken looking towards the finish line and is the only race in which I was able to capture more than one of the cars in the same shot. (My pictures were MUCH better once I realized I could take them from this vantage point without getting yelled at or told to move).
