In motion by Jason

I have grouped these into like effects for easier comparison, below are tripod shots.

#1 Portage Ave. cruise night. f/5.6 Shutter Speed: 1.3s ISO 200 Focal Length: 55mm

#2 Assiniboine Park, f/29 Shutter Speed: 1/5 ISO 200 Focal Length: 34mm

#3 The Forks sk8 park, f/9 Shutter Speed: 1/13 ISO 200 Focal Length: 55mm

The "zoom" effect.

#4 Assiniboine Park English Garden, f/25 Shutter Speed: 1/3 ISO 200 Focal Length: 24mm

The Pan effect.

#5 Provencher Blvd, f/5.3 Shutter Speed: 1/6 ISO 800 Focal Length: 18mm

#6 Assiniboine Park #2, f/22 Shutter Speed: 1/8 ISO 200 Focal Length: 18mm

My personal fave, camera shake.

#7 Esplanade Riel, f/9 Shutter Speed: 1s ISO 200 Focal Length: 26mm

#8 The lights on Broadway, f/29 Shutter Speed: 2s ISO 200 Focal Length: 18mm

#1 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg f/10 Shutter Speed: 2s ISO 200 Focal Length: 18mm

#2 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg f/10 Shutter Speed: 0.769231s?? ISO 200 Focal Length: 55mm

I was trying my hand at panning with the above photo. It isn't my clearest photo of the evening but I like the colours and subject in this one best. I had a clearer photo but the car was a Pontiac Sunfire...nothing special and the lights weren't as fun as these.

#3 English Garden, Assiniboine Park f/29 Shutter Speed: 1/4 ISO 200 Focal Length: 32mm

#4 English Garden, Assiniboine Park f/22 Shutter Speed: 1/8 ISO 200 Focal Length: 26mm

The two photos above are using the zoom effect. I was a bit obsessive about getting at least one area in focus but I couldn't figure out how to do that.

#5 Petroff's Cabin at Royal Lake f/4.5 Shutter Speed: 1/400 ISO 800 Focal Length: 60mm

I was at the cabin last week and there was no activity on the lake at all. It was difficult to find subjects that were interesting and also in motion. I probably took 40-50 photos of these humming birds to come away with 2-3 that I'm happy with. At one point the hummingbird was floating in front of me but he was so fast that I couldn't get a good shot.

#6 Legislative Grounds, Winnipeg f/22 Shutter Speed: 1/3 ISO 200 Focal Length: 55mm

#7 Legislative Grounds, Winnipeg f/32 Shutter Speed: 0.4s ISO 200 Focal Length: 44mm

In Motion by Lisa

This assignment was a lot of fun for me. I'm hoping to post a few more photos this week. I have a few more ideas I want to try out. I liked playing around with the shutter speed to get more or less motion in the picture and also experimenting with the Al Servo mode, which I rarely use.

#1 Clear Lake, MB
Aperture f/22 Shutter Speed 1/13 ISO 100 Focal Length 18mm
This photo was a bit of an experiment that I've always wanted to try. I've read about this technique but never have tried it. As I was pushing the button to take the photo I zoomed out simultaneously to give the tree that effect. I thought it turned out kinda neat!

#2 Clear Lake, MB Harley & the Boys
Aperture f/13 Shutter Speed 1/25 ISO 320 Focal Length 18mm

#3 Clear Lake, MB Bocce Ball
Aperture f/18 Shutter Speed 1/15 ISO 320 Focal Length 120mm

#4 Clear Lake, MB Bill at work

Aperture f/18 Shutter Speed 1/20 ISO 320 Focal Length 28mm

Hopefully I'll post a few more this week!

In Motion by Mike

I had to start with this (cropped) photo I took while at Jason's cabin. I waited for a long time for the hummingbird to come back to get more shots. In the end, one of my first shots was the best:

#1- Petroff Cabin at Lake Royal, ON f/2.0 Shutter Speed: 1/160s ISO400 50mm

#2 - Herb & Gloria's back yard in Winkler, MB f/20 Shutter Speed: 0.6s ISO100 28mm

#3 - Herb & Gloria's back yard in Winkler, MB f/20 Shutter Speed: 0.6s ISO100 21mm

I adjusted the contrast and saturation in #3 above. The original is below. Which do you like better?

#4 - Herb & Gloria's back yard in Winkler, MB f/7.1 Shutter Speed: 1/15s ISO100 55mm

#5 - Crystal Crescent in Winkler, MB f/29 Shutter Speed: 1/4s ISO100 27mm

#6 - Winkler Park Playground f/9.0 Shutter Speed: 1/20s ISO100 18mm

#7 - Winkler Park Playground f/5.6 Shutter Speed: 1/25s ISO100 21mm

#8 - Bethel Heritage Park in Winkler, MB f/5.6 Shutter Speed: 6s ISO100 130mm

#9 - Bethel Heritage Park in Winkler, MB f/10 Shutter Speed: 20s ISO100 75mm

#10 - Bethel Heritage Park in Winkler, MB f/2.0 Shutter Speed: 2s ISO100 50mm

silhouettes by corina

Phu Quoc, Vietnam f/8 Shutter Speed: 1/250 ISO 100 Focal Length: 55mm

Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia

f/11 Shutter Speed: 1/800 ISO 200 Focal Length: 18mm

I had to put these in even though I obviously didn't take them this week. I've been longing to go back to SE Asia lately. I think I prefer to shoot in silhouette when it just happens that you are in that moment of perfect lighting and an interesting subject.
