Round Robin Challenge: In Motion

Hi, Robins! Once again I'm going to combine two people's topics, not because I want to use up the suggestion pool extra fast, but to give both people credit for their similar ideas. For Saturday, October 3rd, the topic is

In Motion

NOW CLOSED!

Bats leave a bridge over the Rillito at sunset, Tucson, AZ.

Vicki of the blog Maraca calls her version of the topic "Greased Lightning," and explains it this way:

One thing I'd like to learn to do is panning, or following a moving object with the camera so that it stays in focus while the background blurs, giving a sense of motion. I tried it while my son flew his model airplane this fall, without much success. This shot might not have been bad if I had had more of the ground in the frame. Let's call this challenge "Greased Lightning!"

Terri of the blog Ways I See the World calls her version Movement Shots - "birds, children, insects."

So let's do this! Let's capture objects in motion, whether it means moving the camera to keep up, or capturing the blur of movement against a static background.

You know how this works, right?

• Do NOT post before the Challenge Date, Saturday, October 3rd!
• DO RSVP in the comments below, thus:

I'm moved to play along with this topic!

Round Robin Challenge: Chickens

Hi Robins :) NOW CLOSED!

BOK... BOK... BOK... BOK... means our next challenge is "CHICKENS." Sherrie, author of the blog, Sherrie's Stuff, suggested this subject all the way back in January, somehow this seems like the perfect time to take it on!

Save the date! This challenge will take place on Saturday, September 19th 2009. Everyone is welcome to join us, but there are a few things to keep in mind about how to play this meme...

1. DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE DATE! As Steven says, "this is not a race." And besides, we don't post a linking list until the day of the challenge, so posting early does not get you more traffic to your blog, in fact, it just confuses things. SO, let's not do that ok?

2. Please try to R.S.V.P. your intention to play, prior to the challenge date. We usually compile the Linking List the night before each challenge, so it's a big help if we know at least by the night before each challenge, who will be joining us.

3. VERY IMPORTANT: We need your complete information at the time you R.S.V.P. your intention to play. Here is an example of how to R.S.V.P...

4. If you are playing along with the Round Robin Challenges for the first time, be sure to let us know so we can give you a proper welcome!



We need your complete information EACH time you play, again, so we can compile a Linking List for the day of the challenge.

There, that's all there is to it! If you have any questions, feel free to email either Karen or myself, and we will answer you as soon as possible! You can find our email addresses, as well as past Round Robin Challenge topics, on the sidebar. We will see you on Saturday, September 19th, 2009!
