Stopping the moment...

The theme of the Crafting in Style "Stop the Moment Running Away" photography challenge for June was action photography.

Part 1: Freezing the action
I took zillions of photographs throughout the month, but this one was my favourite. It's not the most technically correct, but I love the lighting and I love how it captures the free spirit of my favourite little person.



Part 2: Panning the action
This was the part I found the most challenging. I had lots of fun playing with it, and my tripod got a huge workout too. (Now I know why the 'pan handle' got its name.) We went to a local park and I basically just let the "playing" happen, while I tried to keep up! This was one of my favourite photographs, and I got SO dizzy by the end of this photo shoot:



And this is my layout entry for the month, featuring some of my 'panning' photographs:

  9. what brilliant photographer you're becoming!!!!!!! You're already a fantastic scrapper, that LO is beautiful in it's colour & balance, so glad to see brighter pinks.
    The beach photo of Jas immediately brings to mind my favourite ever poem...footprints. Beautiful to see her spirit soaring, what a lucky little girl to be so loved. xo
