In Motion – Redondo Beach
Even before I knew what aperture and shutter speed really meant, I was fascinated with how to illustrate motion in my pictures. I remember sitting in the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2005 randomly adjusting the settings on my Sony Cybershot trying to capture the best motion blur of the museum crowd. I also remember visiting the Getty Museum in 2008 (soon after getting a DSLR) and trying to get the shutter speed just right to illustrate the movement of water in the main fountain.
To this day, I continue to love finding ways to capture the motion of life in a still. I was talking to Dawn about this on the way to Redondo Beach a few weekends ago and came up with an idea for a new project. Here is an image I made in Redondo Beach that evening to start off the new project entitled In Motion.
