Assignment: "Water in Motion" July 21 - Aug. 4

[Saralonde]

We are working on capturing motion blur for a few weeks. This week it is "Water in Motion". Waterfalls come to mind, but there are other outdoor and indoor subjects you can try.

Exposure 0.067 sec (1/15)
Aperture f/3.5
Focal Length 50 mm
ISO 200

As always, rules:

Just a note to new posters: DO NOT start a new thread for your post. Please just hit the reply button at the bottom of any current post and put your image there.

1. Your original image you submit should be taken between the 21st of July and the 4th of August. Each week as an assignment closes on the Wednesday, it will be AUTOMATICALLY deemed *CLOSED* after 8am GMT (3am EST) and any posts after that time will not be eligible for the assignment competition. Don't wait until the last minute to post!

2. Your post must include "Water in Motion" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above). It must be an original image taken by you.

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (740px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.

For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

7. If you are looking for the winners of the mini-contest, please check the front page of the DPS blog Saturday late afternoon (EST) and here.

Next week: Continuing our motion theme, we are going to capture "Motion Blur: People or Animals". Keep in mind you are going to show people or animals in motion blur, not backgrounds. There are two good examples of this in the first post listed below. Here are some helpful posts from the dPS blog:

6 waterballoons with different food coloring in each balloon. Actually two shots pasted together because my pellet gun couldn't shoot through 6 at once.

Shot a couple months ago, but maybe I'll have something new later this week

@Photoboothguy your posts are so repetitive. I can predict your entry every time, it's getting pretty boring to be honest with you. Don't get me wrong, they are brilliant, it is just that you post the same thing for every assignment. Use your photography skills to do something new!
