I was really excited when I read this morning about the new challenge with action pictures because I love to experiment with the camera. I was looking to post a couple of pictures of my vacation that just ended a few days ago and it seems I have a few action pictures there to start with.
I know there are plenty of Sea World pictures around, but I couldn't resist to include thisPopup Linkflying leap in my entry. We encountered this African Musicians that were really energetic and had the fastest  Popup Linkhands I've ever seen. I took three shots at different speeds trying to freeze the hands while moving and they all had the Blur movement in them. Finally this one was taken a few weeks ago. I had a friend walk in front of the camera at night while I shinned a flashlight on her for this Popup LinkLong exposure shot.


 
  • Hands is a great shot. I like the comp, the color, and the action. You have great timing for flying leap. And long exposrue looks like a red ghost.

    I really like "Flying leap;" the colors are so vibrant. Did you use digital or 35m?

  • Nice post. Personally, I would have liked for the hands to be just a little more blurred.

  • I really like the hands shot. The only suggestion I have on that one is to get less of the negative space on the right and more or her right arm. But, all in all, I really like that shot.

    Ditto what everyone else said, Arddwyn! Also I think if you had froze the hands it would've looked like someone getting ready to play, the blur of just the hands shows the action.
