June Photography Competition: Movement

1. Soulfluxzero - run child
2. Vintage Paw - He hunts
3. neonwilderness - platform 9


I also liked Stowpirate - the birds. Great composition but a little too much PS for my liking.

I didn't even get round to developing my films this month :eek::(
 
1] Tom Craggs - When the Tide Turns

Not normally a fan of long exposures of water but this one works really well as the figure looks like he's pushing back sand.

2] Soulfluxzero - Dread Rush

Nice vivid colours and fairly sharp focus in places too.

3] Vintage Paw - He Hunts

Simple cropping done well. KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid :)


Quite liked Pauli's ghost shot but I hate yellow. Horrible colour. :p

Some goodshots from stowpirate, refused and mort!
 
iceland's children-tom craggs
swings-alef
a walk on the wild side-hocus eye
because of life, energy...

also exit-refused as fuck
 
1. Valve - Untitled
2. neonwilderness - Platform 9
3. Paulie Tandoori - Ghost in the house

I'm no photographer so I'm not gonna give any critique.
 
1. Part2 - Berm blur (This one moves the most)
2. soulfluxzero - run child (doesn't move as much, but is a better photo. very very close)
3. firky - Stop (A bit cheesey, but hey, still great :))
 
Votes to:

1. Tom_craggs - Iceland's Children.

(Love the way everything in shot is absolutely static - dome, decking, railings, background figure, even the sky looks painted on - contrasting with the headlong flight of the child.)

2. Firky - Stop

(Rare to get a shot and a one-word caption that makes me laugh out loud.)

3. Refused as fuck - Ugly Duckling

(Excellent, tight shot with ripples radiating and interfering. Also like the 'hidden movement' in the swan metaphor: On the surface, all serene. Below the surface, feet paddling away.)
 
Some great entries - as always - here is my top three though it was a hard choice

1. Rollem - "Dizzy": Made me 'feel' the movement, and made me smile
2. Neon Wilderness - "Platform 9": Sense of speed and movement
3. Soulfluxzero - "Run Child": Beautiful composition and colours
 
firky - Stop - just a great picture, timing, location.
tom_craggs - When the Tide Turns - lovely composition and combination of stillness and movement
alef - Swings - nice angle and timing, really captures the moment.
 
1) stowpirate - the birds
2) soulfluxzero - run child
3) Lisarocket - you need hands

Those three evoked movement for me the best.

Also really liked alef - swings, Hocus Eye - A walk on teh welding side, ill-informed - bee and part2 - berm blur.

I love firky's Stop, but for me it captures a moment of perfect stillness rather than movement.
 
1. tom_craggs - When the Tide Turns

2. Paulie Tandoori - Ghost in the house

3. firky - Stop

I also liked Vintage Paw - Step, Lisarocket - Hula Hoop and alef - Swings, as well as loads of the others.
 
Didn't get out to take a new shot this time. Oh well.

Votes are:

1. tom craggs - when the tide turns

2. Firky - stop

3. part2 - berm blur
 
You can always say what you like about them. None of us are snobs. :)

(Well, apart from Stanley.)

Ok then

1. Valve - Untitled
really like the way the central figure is frozen and his attention is focused out of shot.

2. neonwilderness - Platform 9
It's a predictable shot given the competition brief but brilliantly executed.

3. Paulie Tandoori - Ghost in the house
Not only is this a great photo, but PT is me mate :)








soz firky, but stop just doesn't do it for me. Just looks like he is balancing and doesn't visually describe movement (well for me at least)


Also really like alef - Swings
