Running From The Camera

As the kids were running away after the shoot I saw the sidewalk snaking through the frame and had to capture this moment.

Running The Curve

I was laying down in dress pants for this shot, but it was worth it.

Cross Country Line

I took this while watching the cross country runners race the other day. This is the line that they use to guide the runners through the course. I love how the fall colors look this time of year and think it adds to this shot.

The Path To Forever

This is a technique that I have been experimenting with for a while. It's difficult to master and most of the time the results are horrible, but this one in particular came out great. It requires a longer shutter speed and a quick reflex on the zoom lens. After pressing the shutter release button, you zoom out to give this effect. I especially like this one because it makes you a bit uneasy when you look at it. It's almost like the girl on the trail is running away from something.

The Running From Camera Challenge Is On!

A good challenge helps to inspire creativity and keeps you striving for a goal to become better. My friend and fellow blogger Kevin from Kevin's Photography and I have agreed to a photography challenge this week. This week's challenge is called "Running From Camera" inspired from the blog with the same name.

The rules for this challenge match those of the Running From Camera blog:
"I put the self-timer on 2 seconds, push the button and try to get as far from the camera as I can."

So next Thursday March 27th, Kevin and I will post the result of this weeks challenge on our blogs, so stay tuned and see how creative we can become. Maybe we can get people to vote for their favorite :)
