This week's challenge is...
MOTION BLUR
For our first challenge, we’re focusing on Motion Blur—a technique that adds a sense of movement and energy to your images. Whether it’s the rush of cars speeding down a street, the flowing motion of a waterfall, or the soft blur of a dancer in mid-twirl, motion blur has the power to transform everyday scenes into something dynamic and captivating.
What to Capture?
- City Life: Capture the hustle and bustle of a busy street or the flow of pedestrian movement.
- Nature in Action: Think of flowing water, wind-swept fields, or even birds in flight.
- Sports and Action: Freeze the moment in motion during a sporting event or high-energy activity.
- Abstract and Artistic: Experiment with intentional camera movement to create abstract, painterly images.
How to Participate?
- Capture Your Shot: Use your camera or smartphone and experiment with motion blur techniques.
- Upload Your Photo: Post your entry on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter with the hashtag #WeeklyPhotoChallenge and tag us.
- Submission Deadline: All submissions must be posted by Wednesday the week after before our online photo review session.
- Online Photo Review Session: We’ll have an online photo review session every Thursday at 9 PM, where we’ll discuss submissions, provide feedback, and explore new techniques.
Tips for Shooting Motion Blur
- Use a Slow Shutter Speed: Adjust your shutter speed to capture the motion (around 1/30 to 1 second works well for most subjects).
- Steady Your Camera: Use a tripod to keep the non-moving elements sharp, or experiment with intentional camera movement.
- Experiment with Light: Play around with different lighting conditions, like city lights at night, to enhance the motion effect.
Let’s see what amazing motion-filled moments you can create! We can’t wait to witness your unique perspective and celebrate your creativity in motion!
