Movement
How do you show movement in your photos? This photo choice is a very deliberate show of movement through the camera lens and the blurring lights, but how else can you show movement of objects, or of the action that’s happening in your picture? (Sara Rosso, The Daily Post at WordPress.com)
There are so many creative ways to show movement, and there are some great examples at the links below. I get the greatest kick out of showing it in the result, the consequence or affect of a movement, while the cause lies just outside or on the perimeter of the exposed frame. In this shot you see the ripples but not the drop of water that caused the oil to move.

A beautiful fusion of movement. For awhile , they looked like sparkling gems. Love the unique flow of the elements as well as the play of light, shadows and colors. Thanks for sharing an exciting post! Have a wonderful day!

Thank you, Mr. B. Whenever my sister and I get in the studio together it is always a creative storm … but I’m up here in Ontario, Canada, she’s in Georgia, USA! This was the result of one of our all day photography sessions.
