Breaking the Rules: Movement

[Dave Schofield]

Whoop, thanks for everyone who voted for my picture in the glare challenge!! So I have to pick the next rule breaking thingy:

Here are the photographic rules broken so far:

Rule of Thirds
Focus
Exposure
On-Camera Flash
Lens Flare
White Space
Color
Viewpoint
Portrait
Glare

So I struggled a bit to find what might be new and I came up with movement and motion. The obvious rule being if you’re shooting something that’s moving shoot shutter priority and fast. So break it guys, I wanna see blur and energy and motion and life and chaos. I'm not against the odd fast shutter picture if it does something different. Streets, people, futurist style machines, white water rafting, sugar-fuelled kids, animals, racing cars, scalded cats, rugby tackles....everything goes. Think outside the box

Check out this super article for examples of movement done well:

and the flickr group for inspiration:

This is one of my failed low light panning photos, but I ended up liking it better than the stop motion panning shot!
