Still-in-Motion

Although a photograph is a still image, I like its ability to show motion through composition or exposure. This gallery has a collection of photographs that show movement during the time the shutter was open, from before capturing the photograph, or perhaps motion that is "still taking place." I hope you enjoy these photographs...please leave any remarks by using the "Add Comment" button found toward the bottom of the gallery - Tim Westmore.

    Surfers-in-Motion

    With a slower shutter speed, the surrounding scene is blurred relative to the tracked, standing surfer. The surfer sitting on a surfboard, moving in an opposite direction, has a "ghostly" appearance as the wave moves forward.

    The exposure in this photograph is set for the motionless car 29 whilst the other two cars appear to "overtake" in a blur.

    Elephant Seal Tracks

    The tracks show this Northern Elephant Seal (Mirounga angustirostris) was moving before capturing the photograph but is now leaving the beach...to continue in motion and swim out at sea.

    Panning blurs the surrounding field of view but maintains a relatively sharp image of Jenson Button in his BAR-Honda Formula 1 racing car.

    Bouncing Girl

    Caught suspended in mid-air, this photograph captures a sense that Newton will extract his revenge and the girl will come back down.

  • Racing into the Night

    Racing into the Night

    This is a classic, long-exposure image captured at dusk...streaks of light are from the headlights and exhaust-flame of cars racing around the road coarse at Laguna Seca.
