WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Movement

Natural Seawall – Mount Desert Island, Maine

Life is constant motion. Whether it be man, beast or of the natural world, life depends on motion. The giving and taking, the coming and going, the growing and the dying, life is continuous.

It is our choice whether we want to blur the motion and go as fast as possible to maximize every moment.

But perhaps the best way to truly appreciate life and the joys it provides is to freeze frame precious moments so that they can be savored.

  1. Yeah – “life is constant motion – whether it be man, beast or of the natural world, life depends on motion – the giving and taking, the coming and going, the growing and the dying, life is continuous” >>> totally agree, well written… πŸ˜‰

    – and some great shots… πŸ˜‰

  2. So beautiful photos, and post. This time it is not the horses that are my favorites, but the sea photos. I have seen so many beaches and waves, but these are so good. Something special.

  3. I’m loving the water photographs! Did you use a neutral density filter? I’ve been looking into investing in one but have no idea where to begin! Any suggestions?

    • Hi Kate,
      On this photo, I did not use a ND filter. However, I do have a Singh Ray 3-stop rectangular ND filter that I use for high contrast situations, I just place it flat in front of my lens, and slide it to where I want it. I got this recommendation from a book “How to Photograph Maine & Acadia National Park” It was great advice. They’re pricey but worth it.
