ND Wind Twins
Supper's served! 28/52
We were challenged this week to use "action blur" - to have part of the photo blurred to imply motion. I was pleased with this one because Buzz's collar, food bowl, and feet are in sharp focus, but his face is clearly involved in eating - his favorite activity.
It was a little tricky to do. I put his dinner outside so I could use natural light, then I used the tripod to minimize camera shake. I intended to use the remote so that I could click away as I fed him but (of course) the batteries on it are dead and I don't have spares. So, I had to run back and forth from the camera to his food bowl. Buzz is a fast eater, so I knew if I fed him his whole dinner I would get very few chances. So I just gave him a few kernels then ran back and snapped a shot or two. If I were doing it again I would use a longer lens, I ended up cropping this quite a lot.
