Motion Blur: People or Animals photography

Assignment: "Motion Blur: People or Animals" July 28-Aug. 11

---

This week: Continuing our motion theme, we are going to capture "Motion Blur: People or Animals". Keep in mind you are going to show people or animals in motion blur, not backgrounds. There are two good examples of this in the first post listed below. Here are some helpful posts from the dPS blog:
How to Capture Motion Blur in Photography
Introduction to Shutter Speed in Digital Photography

This is a picture of my Aikido Sensei performing ukemi (the art of falling). This technique is an essential part of Aikido and can take years to perfect.

I really couldn't decide between two of my photos for this assignment. I took this shot the other day before I joined this forum. I was excited to find the assignment to be motion blur but decided to choose another shot instead. I thought this shot was fun and still wanted to share it.
