Motion

Sometimes a little blur can bring more out in a photo. The backyard was fairly dark, so I had a fairly low shutter speed, ranging from 1/4-1/60th of a second, but it captured the motion perfectly.

Equipment:

- Canon EOS 50D
- Tamron 90mm f2.8 Macro (doubles nicely as a medium-reach portrait lens on a crop-frame camera)
- No flash, which caused the slower shutter speed and motion blur. Using flash would have been too static for these shots.

Oh, and I updated my site header and the colors of the site, using a custom template I got from a template site. The site header photo is a texture shot that I just took in Yellowstone National Park - I don't remember which geyser basin offhand but it had some incredible colors and textures.
