For this photograph we had a shutter speed of 10″. The method we used here is known as motion blur. Motion Blur happens when a picture is taken with a slow shutter speed capturing the photo slowly which creates a blurry motion effect. Motion blur is most effective when the subject moves perpendicular from the camera. “Motion blur is the apparent streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image or a sequence of images such as a movie or animation. It results when the image being recorded changes during the recording of a single exposure, either due to rapid movement or long exposure.” (Wikipedia)
I like this photo because it looks like a movie poster. With the words on the back, and subject moving the head it looks as if the learning center makes students crazy. I like the range of facial expressions on the faces. I like the arc created by the head. Overall I think its a great example of motion blur, and story telling.
