One-Two Second Exposure

Take a photo using a shutter speed between 1-2 seconds that is not a landscape or seascape.

We have had a 1 second and a 2 second challenge. lets combine the two and get rid of the go to river/waterfall/ocean shots.

Special Rules:

Your exposure must be between 1-2 seconds and not be of a landscape/seascape/waterfall/River

I like it :)

Many of my shots involve a 1-2 seconds shutter speed.

I'm not sure why we have to eliminate "landscapes"; just specifying "no moving-water shots" should eliminate the cliches?

moving clouds are also kind of cliche

i would prefer "long exposure without landscapes". more freedom to shoot something interesting, 1-2 seconds doesn't seem like a large range.

We don't have to just thought it would make it more challenging.

i have a feeling all the shots will be very similar in that case; street photography style shots with blurry people or cars.

I don't know. I am generally happy with the range of shots in motion challenges.

Or a picture of something in the dark with a rear sync flash at the end.

Aren't moving clouds moving water too? Same matter, different phase.

You do realize clouds are water, right? Granted, not everyone would make the connection.

Love the challenge idea.
