Thanks, but for this challenge, it's that I stopped snow flakes in mid fall.

This is not crooked - they are climbing a hill.

Photogrl57, you don't know how happy I was to see your racing pigs. I was in the KC airport a couple weeks ago and this opportunity for a hip shot that I didn't post yesterday presented itself and all I can say was my action was frozen just to get it for what ever reason. Now you have presented the best reason.

...pretty sure they were referring to Kansas City Bar-B-Que though...

Excellent Gracie! I especially like that first one...made me smile they are so in sync!! I'm NOT an expert at freezing action at all....I do so much want a good shot of a flying Eagle someday..
I have not achieved that yet!

Good Morning! Welcome to 'Freezing the Action,' one of my favorite topics! When researching the topic, it didn't take long to discover that there are many differing opinions among professional photographers as to what the term, 'freezing he action' really means. For most photographers, it means capturing the motion of a subject with sharpness and no blur. For others, it means capturing the motion of the subject with sharpness and no blur, but also capturing the velocity of the movement in the background. Here are the links for two good articles demonstrating each technique:

Stopping the action with a fast shutter speed - your photo is captured, with subject sharp, and no blur in the picture.

Freezing the action in which your subject is sharp while still showing the velocity of movement. This can be obtained by physically following/moving the subject with your camera after you have locked the subject into focus.

Many of you are already masters at freezing the action. I can't wait to see your examples!

My granddaughter's were playing in our first snow (of many this winter) and, naturally, the snowballs flew. This is my granddaughter getting hit with one of them!

Hi Gracie. Wonderful examples of freezing the action.

Tried to freeze the action of the big snowflakes this morning, but didn't get anything worthwhile. Then the weather turned to rain with promises of 50 mph winds. Don't think I'll be out for a while. Mother Nature has been moody!

My apologies if this ends up in the wrong place.... motocross, mama and baby dolphins out for a swim were both shot with my D7100 using the 70-300mm, while the heron was shot with the D7100 using the 150-500mm.


:D Welcome to UHH.

One of the problems with wearing glasses. Hope she was smiling when she could see again. Good catches.
