Geeze, I guess that leaves out Karma... She's a very prosaic dog.

Just sayin' :-)

Hmm, wonder if I shoot a horse doing something horsey, then do Gaussian blur, if I'll get a ribbon? :-)

May have to take a book of sonnets out into the field. As well, I am not sure what my "choice of animal" is...

I was wondering, if I got my parakeet to ruffle its feathers while reciting "Yankee Doodle Dandy", would that count? Or are songs not poems? Cuz the bird doesn't know any Yeats or Byron, I'm sad to report...

S'okay. Poetry was originally sung. But it doesn't say the animal has to be doing poetry - poetry actually means doing or making. So maybe your parakeet should be parakeeting, but parakeeting poetically. Hmn. Gulls gulling, fish fishing, bears bearing.

Bears bearing bears? That's an idea that bears contemplating, if it doesn't violate the TOS...

LOL Bear.

I have a question. Does, in the opinion of the small subset of voters reading this thread, the shot need to include motion blur to meet the challenge, or can stopped motion count?

For example, a bird in flight. If you use a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion of the bird, but it's obvious that the bird is moving from it's posiiton in shot, would this still count?
 04/20/2009 07:29:38 AM · #14
Blur, blur, blur! All the way! Yay, I can do blur!
 04/20/2009 07:31:38 AM · #15
In my opinion I would say that motion blur would be optional.
Here is a great example from keegbow of frozen action that still communicates
motion IMO



Now to get all picky, as humans are animals I assume that we can enter
a picture of a sports person lets say without fear of DNMC

Additional thoughts on new challenge:

Animals in Motion (scene 1)

Background music: Theme from "Twilight Zone"
A man in a gray flannel suit steps into spot light from darken background.

Man: " Picture if you would, a woman somewhere in Germany, dropping small animals into a pan of water."

{disclaimer: no animals were harmed in the making of this film}

Haha! Thanks for the laugh.
I'm reminded of Carl Sandberg: "The fog creeps in on little cat feet..." though I realize it would be a DNMC with no actual animals involved.

Sure, and then you'll have lots of opportunity to seethe with self-righteous anger when the low votes come in.

You should be good to go if you can find someone who looks like John Belushi, of "Animal House" fame...

How about Edward Scissorhands? Of course I took it yesterday. I cut his feet off...that's so poetic.

I think so, it's tapping it's foot anyway, that's motion, isn't it?
