"Freeze the Motion"- (Dangerspouse)'s Choice

Anything moving is fair game, as long as you capture it in sharp detail with no blur. (My prediction: either Woody or Wev is gonna nail a crazy hummingbird shot!)

Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY July 20
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 23:59 UTC of the end date.




The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

This challenge has started.

You can always make use of flash to freeze motion if you wish (but not necessary for this challenge). And if you are interested in learning how to freeze motion with flash, be sure to search for T.1 flash duration. Just using flash won't always freeze fast motion.

This article is helpful for those who wish to learn more on flash duration.
https://www.slrlounge.com/flash-dur... thing.-,The T.,the faster the flash duration.

Quote from the article:

The T.1 time is the best measurement of the flash’s ability to freeze a subject, but the higher the power that you use, the slower the flash duration, so the slower that T.1 time. The lower the power setting on your flash, the faster the T1 time, i.e. the faster the flash duration.

I find it depends on the software used. Most who post here have the EXIF intact - but like I said, sometimes certain software will strip it. In the future, just list the date, time, and camera with your post. :)
