Fresh Air

Continuing on the photography theme, next week is hand-in for the Assignment Digital competition.  For this you have to submit six images each on a given topic.  I have images for all bar one of the topics and that is 'moving object'.  I've had great difficulty with this partly, I think, because the trick is to get a blur to indicate movement where you want it but sharp focus everywhere else.  I've tried photographing dogs and seagulls, neither of which worked well so now I'm trying to find something else.

The process isn't helped by the fact that it has been grey and overcast all week (except Tuesday which was the one day I couldn't go out in the early evening).  Grey and overcast means flat light which isn't good for the type of photo I'm trying to take.  However I still went out at lunchtime today to see if I'd get lucky (no) and, I tell you, within five minutes of taking the camera out my hands were so cold I couldn't hold it steady.

Despite this I'm going to try again tomorrow - if nothing else it's a good reason to get out at lunchtime and breath in some fresh air.
