This week, we are challenged to show some action, so here we have quite a variety:
The first two images have action frozen by fast shutter, so you need to imagine the speed
Classic cars racing at Le Mans
Follow the track
One of my favourite ‘Action’ images, one man and his dog at Madrid’s Parque Retiro:
….and the next three have movement suggested by motion blur, I love slow shutter speed work:
Waiters rushing around
chef tossing pasta!
Nifty with the pasta!
and lastly, girl in a hurry
A fleeting glimpse….

What fun, that pasta tossing! I’d have it all over the floor 😦 More GP tomorrow, Sue!
That chef was lovely, he was quite happy for me to be taking photographs, thanks to his patience, I got some great motion shots….some of the first I ever did
Oh, and Italian GP…,,I loved Monza, a fun circuit to drive around….
Nice memory! 🙂 🙂
Indeed!
Wow – love them! I must say that tossing pasta guy looks really happy! Lovely shot. but, my favorite must be the last one – could hang on my wall any day…
Yay! The last one is one of my favourites of all time – you have great taste, A C!!!
And so have you! Do we have a club?
I think we do!!
😀
Love the girl in a hurry Sue—very artistic!
Thanks, Tina! It was a triumph of shutter speed selection!
All great shots, Sue. I could easily imagine the speed of the cars, and would love to have a go in that old Mercedes. (Maybe in my younger days though. 🙂 )
Best wishes, Pete.
I’m torn between the Jag and the Mazza!!
Some great shots Sue
My favourites are the first and last – great cars so clear, and the wonderfully blurred woman perfectly timed to show the tiles
Oh, I do try!!
I love that waiter photo! Brilliant capture. I have got to think about this one.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with…surfers? Kids at play! Boats?
I probably do have a few surfers!
Thought you must!’
At the moment though all my photos are on a backup drive so finding things isn’t easy. Might have to give challenges a miss for a while. I’m not inclined to copy stuff onto this laptop until I know it is stable. Taken me all weekend to install it back to where it was!
Oh goodness…bad news. All my photographs are on external drives…main drive and backup, but soon switching to two backups! I don’t back up to the cloud because it would take too long with 18mb RAW files!!
Well our connection is very poor – average about 500kbps – so copying between devices at home is often painful.
Yikes
Girl in a hurry very artistic. But love the pasta throwing chef
It’s all about selecting the right shutter speed and keeping very still so the background stays in focus….I’m finding it much harder this last year
Not easy, but you have got it in this one…👍
I do this slow shutter speed stuff quite a lot!
And very well too…
Many thanks, Pauline!
Brilliant Sue, especially the last two!
My favourites, too! Oh, and the man on rollerblades with his dog!
Hi, Sue. Wow. I love the chef and the girl in a hurry. The chef has such a wonderful expression and his delight is evident as he tosses the post. The girl in the last shot is pure poetry in motion. Love it.
Thanks Patti! I think the chef was amused by this photographer trying to get the action shots! And the last image is one of my favourite images that I have ever taken,.,,.
Cool capture of the chef making pasta! A happy chef. 🙂
Happy chef, indeed!
The last photo is really a great idea, Sue
Thank you, Mitza!
The pasta chef seems to be having so much fun – love the slow shutter speed for this image!
Pleased you like it!

Lovely, inspiring photos with various shutter speeds and actions, Sue. A great take on the challenge! 🙂
Thanks, Dina! I love playing about with shutter speeds, as I do wit apertures, for that matter! And ICM is fun – loved yours of the masts in the harbour!
I especially like the Girl in a Hurry. Thanks for stopping by my site and liking my story/photo prompt post.
Many thanks, Sheri!
