Play with movement

Lately I've been playing around with different shutter speeds to get pictures with crystal clear backdrop but with a moving subject. More often than not, I've been that moving subject.

Here are some of these pictures.

This was my very first attempt at what I exactly describe above.



Not the greatest of pictures, but for me it was an interesting start. I've also learned that doing such a shot near noon with a very white skirt might not be the best of ideas.

This one was definitively more successful, well I find anyways. Wearing darker clothes and taking the picture on an overcast day under trees will help.



The following two were taken in a forest path not very far from where I live. I really like how the first one came out, that there is almost a ghostly feeling to it. The second picture was meant as an homage to a picture from a fellow flickr user. Using movement in a jump picture.
