A moment frozen in time. Photographs are often described in this manner. However, Sometimes we like to see movement in our photographs. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. This week, I will show examples of images which show an object in motion achieved by slowing down the camera's shutter speed during exposure. A perfect time to experiment with this technique is at night, when the light is low enough to naturally produce slow shutter speeds. (This technique can be successful during daylight, as well, with the use of a neutral density filter.)
This week's images were made at the Indiana state Fair.

Finally, I spotted the Yo-Yo from this angle and set up for another shot. As the ride geared up to full speed, I captured this moment when it looked like a flying saucer rising above the concessions stand. Mixing movement with a static object accentuates the feeling of motion. (Canon EOS 1-D Mark IIN, Canon 28-105mm f 3.5-4 lens, 0.5 sec. @ f 20, ISO 100)
