It’s time for another monthly photo quest and this month’s theme is SPEED. Does it make your creative juices flow already? 🙂 Think of all the ways you can express speed in a photograph – you could go for a “speedy” subject of course, but you can also employ camera techniques like panning with a slow shutter speed, maybe combined with rear-curtain flash, or even a long exposure.
Theme thoughts: keep in mind that speed does not necessarily mean motion. You can show slow speeds, or fast speeds! Speed doesn’t mean blur either – you could freeze motion in time with a very short shutter speed, but your photo should convey the feeling of speed. Make “speed” an element of your photo.
Example: a hummingbird’s wings – you could use a very fast shutter speed to freeze the motion, or a slower shutter speed to blur it. Either way, someone who looks at the photo will recognize the element of “speed” in the photo (well, assuming they know hummingbirds). You get the idea!
