    This months photo challenger is "Shutter Speed". Intentionally use shutter speed to control the action in your images.

    Happy shooting!

    Again, the rules are simple:
    • Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all.
    • Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives.
    • and most importantly have fun.

    Thanks guys. I'm normally a film shooter but having come across this challenge just after hanging out the washing I just couldn't resist grabbing the the camera and having a go. I did get a hearty slap in the face from a wet towel for my troubles though! o_O

    Great interpretation of the topic Caladina. Without the scratch pole as clue I would never have guessed what was in the cloud.

    What a lovely little kitten, when I got Mugginsworth he destroyed two boxes he used as his caves of doom.
    Anything that went pass the boxes would be attacked by a hidden paw.
    He would also chew and tear apart the boxes, all he does now is sleep on my bed or look out the windows.

    Not wanting to copy your lovely image, Caladina. I went the other way and made the subject in focus and background fuzzy by panning and using 1/125th of a sec. Panning a Seaull.jpg

    I am glad you like it Thumbnail, I tried a heap of ideas and come across Caladina's image and thought if I reversed the theme, it would not be copying her.
