World in motion

When trying to convey any type of movement it has to be obvious enough that the viewer is drawn into the moment. The framing is a little wide here and there is too much detail around the edges of the frame, meaning we lose the subject slightly. Using a longer focal length would help with this, allowing us to focus on the surfer, making them the clear focus of the shot.

World in motion indeed! This is both a literal and interpretive take on the brief for this round. While the scene is a simple one it required perfect timing and forethought to capture correctly. The long exposure shows the passage of time but the rocket suggests motion in a metaphorical way too. Perfect exposure choice and concept.

This is an image with fantastic energy. The composition, movement and colour all jump off the screen and while a simple idea, it works very well here. The choice of shutter speed is spot on and considering this is a handheld image it is highly effective. Well done!

This image was likely far harder to capture than it first appears. We got lots of zoom blur images this round, but for this image several things had to come together. The photographer had to balance the movement of the train with the speed of the blur and for this shot it was done perfectly. Great colour and energy, making an everyday subject look exciting! Well done.

This is an exceptional abstract shot! There is a lovely blend of lighting effects and long exposure, handheld blurring, creating a very painterly look. ICM is a popular technique but this is an unusual application and is paired with a great subject, making a common scene look artistic. Congratulations!
