This last weekend, my Canon xTi got passed on to  my oldest daughter [Nate's mommy] and I referred her to Lolli’s blog tutorials for easy to read and learn lessons in digital photography.  Lolli is the author of Better In Bulk and also co-hosts a photography challenge which I’m participating in today.  This week’s challenge is Shutter Speed.  Hop on over HERE and share your motion photos.

If you’re surrounded by children and pets, there’s always motion around you.  I’ve honed in on some portrait photography skills but can still learn a lot when it comes to capturing a moving target.  As an example, this photo of Newman [my furry fuzzy cockapoo] chasing his tail was a challenge especially since it was an indoor night time shot.

With my newer 7D, capturing my niece’s volleyball tournament last week, I took some of these shots.

I’m working on clarity and some of the tips I’m learning will help me get there.  I think that’s the fun part of learning and participating in challenges such as these.  If you’d like to participate, head on over to Better In Bulk and keep coming back for tutorials.

Plus, it’s a great way to meet cool people.  I’m headed there right now to link up.  See you there!
