Welcome to our August Digital Challenge!
This months topic was “Movement"
We invite all our fb followers to cast your votes with either a 👍🏼 or ❤️ on your TWO favourite images!
We encourage positive and constructive comments on the images as well!

Last Friday was a great evening for some Astro Photography! Thanks to those members who came along.
Make sure you send in your pics so they can be added to the post!

Only a few days left to capture your movement shot!

AUGUST DIGITAL CHALLENGE TOPIC - MOVEMENT 🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️💃🏼📸

The best way to photograph movement effectively is just to start experimenting! Approach a scene and try to photograph it in a few ways - use a fast shutter speed to capture suspended movement, and then photograph the same subject, this time with a slow shutter speed to capture motion blur.
