Award Winner

Here's my pick from this weeks photography class homework. The assignment was to go out in manual mode and photograph something moving. He suggested cars or bikes with cool backgrounds that would blur. I was told to "pan" the image to keep it in focus while the background blurred. So, Thursday night, I had still not done the assignment since Rob has been working late and I'm not about to take both kids to a busy street corner for a photo assignment. What's a Momma to do? Use what I have. Put Suzy kid on the swing. Even if she's not fully dressed. :)

I didn't think much of it, but apparently my instructor was pretty impressed that I took this shot at a 1/10 second shutter speed. He's a race car photographer with a really big ego that seems to like scantily clad women from his classroom examples. He's the kind of guy that I imagine will compliment a girl just to get in her pants.

When he saw my shot, he said, "You could come track side with me and shoot." A huge compliment for this man of few words. I can't help but be proud of what I'm assuming is a sincere compliment. After all, my jeans are WAY to big of a size for him. ;)

Wow! I have long suspected that Suzy is actually a superhero (just like her mom!).
