The Photo Contest: Moving

It is a challenge portraying motion with a static, two-dimensional medium such as photography. The winners, here, did a superb job with that challenge.

We chose "Whee", Wayne Harlech-Jones's photo of a woman on a swing, as the Grand Prize winner. The bright, primary colors of the woman against the bright green moving background, combined with the sharpness with which Harlech-Jones captured the woman made this image stand out. I also liked the placement of the woman within the image as well as her pose which together emphasize the motion. Harlech-Jones will receive a copy of CompuPic Pro from Photodex Corporation.

Our first runner-up was Nathan Clarke's "Llamadas". The use of a slower shutter speed in a nighttime environment allowed Clarke to capture this image emphasizing the frenetic nature of this festival, something that would not have happened if all of the subjects were static and sharp. Clarke will receive a year's subscription to PhotoTechniques magazine.

Please note: If you are a MAC user, please remember you must save your images with the proper extensions, i.e., .jpeg or .jpg.
