Blur

This is one of the blurred shots that I took for our latest ART 116 project. I put this one up here not only because it was difficult to take (it was probably 7:00 at night or later), but also because of the story behind it. I was doing my best to fit in as many shots as I could before the due date for the project. I was desperate to get some action shots of people playing sports, but I didn't have anyone that I knew personally to photograph. Normally I'm really shy, but in this case I just threw caution to the wind and went up to some people playing tennis and asked if I could take pictures of them. After they gave me the anticipated look of trepidation and hesitation at saying 'yes,' they gave in and were quite helpful! So with this shot, I not only conquered my fear of using new functions on my camera, but I also overcame a bit of shyness. :) I like the highlights of the white in her shirt and shoes, and the fact that you can see the path of the tennis ball as it moves toward and hits the racket.
