For my first project on this journey, I took shots focusing on time. For the first two, I went to a street nearby and started experimenting with blurring backgrounds of moving cars. I dropped my shutter speed to 1/30 for maximum blur and followed the cars’ movements with my camera. I got a couple pictures out of that experiment that I liked. I edited some of the colors and general appearance in Lightroom then finished editing in Photoshop with some extra blurring for style.

White car; 04/25/17, 10 a.m., Rexburg, ID; 45.00mm; 1/30; f/25; Nikon D60
I liked how these turned out, so I turned to freezing motion with a faster shutter speed. I set my shutter speed to 1/1000 and stoked my roommate’s inner hair-model self. She enjoyed flipping her hair for my many takes. I later took them into Lightroom for some minor edits like straightening the brick background and adding contrast and exposure.

I like the motion blur photos, because you left enough lead space to eyes to follow.
With the free ones, great idea to choose a model with long hair, but the second photo, I would align bricks behind her horizontally in Lightroom! Well done!

Having taken similar pictures as your blurred shots, I really like the angle you got of the cars going by you, I think they turned out well. Plus, I like your second frozen shot, it’s fun to see the hair pointing up. Overall, I really like your shots!
