Emotion in Motion

By

I love capturing motion shots.  To me, nothing shows emotion better than an act or movement caught in the moment.  The kids at my son’s school put on huge dance performance every year and my ‘job’ is to put together a slideshow for their friends and family of the photos I’ve taken to show just prior to the kids taking stage.  Seeing the kids in motion, the pure joy on their faces, shows everyone just how much fun they had getting ready for the big night. 

Capturing motion shots of all kinds can show an array of emotions from the element of surpise to pure delight to simple childhood fun.  How about you? Show us your motion shots.  Let us see the emotion you’ve captured.

  6. Your shots are great! I have to photograph my son's 5th grade party in a couple weeks where I will need to focus on capturing the motion and emotion of their final fun day in elementary school.

    This weekend I was able to capture my son's teammate as he showed great determination in trying to reach 1st base before the throw. Love the tongue.

  7. I'm working on taking candid photos of people which is well outside my comfort zone. I liked the fact that I seem to have captured the spirit of the day in this one.

  16. I love these too! My favorite motion shots are with my dogs. When we brought them home a year ago (this weekend) they didn't stop moving for the first hour or so. It was amazing and I still grin from ear to ear when I think of that first weekend with them…

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ONCE AGAIN post loads of shots of my dogs. LOL

  26. Nice information, many thanks to the author. It is incomprehensible to me now, but in general, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming. Thanks again and good luck!

  27. Here is a pic from our big basketball tourney this year. When I photograph the games I am usually focused on the play rather than the player. So I loved that I caught the team captain (who is very reserved) showing so much emotion in the game.
