FEBRUARY ASSIGNMENT - Slowed Motion

This Month's Assignment is going to be all about motion, but slowed.  So what exactly am I talking about?  I am talking about blur!  I am talking about when your camera's shutter speed is set low enough that what is in motion is fuzzy.  Its an effect that can actually enhance the mind's feel of motion when viewing a photo.  Practice the technique and share your results with us in this month's assignment!

How the Assignment Works and Prizes!

You must share your images with all of us on the FLICKR page to be entered!  Selections will be made from the entries submitted to the FLICKR group and displayed on this page below.  Out of the selections made below over the next two months ONE winner will be chosen and receive a $50 Amazon.com gift certificate.  TWO runner-ups will be chosen and receive a $25 Amazon.com gift card each.  The winners will be chosen and announced on March 1st

It seems that for every assignment great photos are submitted at the very end every month, and this month was no exception.  This photo stood out from the beginning.  This photo is definitely outside the box for the normal door/widow related photos and I think that's what drew it to me.  Also, having the door slightly off center in the photo added to the good composition.  Great job. 

The Runner Ups:

Both of these photos are great!  From the amazing old green paint to the quaintly framed white door I very much love them.  I also like how one is straight on, close up and the other slightly off to the side ad further away, two different views of the same type of subject. 

FEBRUARY ASSIGNMENT SELECTIONS

Selections will be made periodically throughout the month from the FLICKR page and added below.

I add new photos as often as you submit them so check back often!
