Hi All

Theme - Movement

Rules..
  • Images must be taken in the month of the theme and posted here before the end of the month.
  • Images taken at the Nifty Fifty focal length on full frame or the equivalent focal length on crop bodies, ie. Canon 1.6 crop body plus 35 prime or 30mm on zoom etc.
  • No lens modifiers, this is about the purity of the Nifty Fifty FL and being close to the human eye.
  • Tiny crop to straighten allowed, try to keep the image as close to what the lens would see.
  • Cropping to new ratio, ie 16:9, is allowed, but please keep to full width and as a last resort, it is about the purity of the view from the lens above all else.
  • The theme will be posted on the first of each month, in the title bar of the image thread.
  • Shoehorns, even Lube and Crowbars are allowed to squeeze into the theme ;)
  • A poll will be added at the end of the month, (just for fun, no records will be kept).
  • Please list gear used.
  • Open to all, no sign up required.
  • One entry only please.
Images only - Chat link here.

Well deserved, both (y)
 
Well done everyone and thanks for the votes ! . . . I actually voted for @Pork, if I'd have changed my vote near the end of the time of the poll for this July Motion image challenge I'd have clinched it, but that is not what this is about. If at stake was prize money, a free holiday, an all over body waxing done by Big Bertha then maybe I would have manipulated the outcome to win, but me and my little fully manual 50mm radioactive Asahi lens are very happy we are actually capable of reaching the dizzying heights of a joint first, SOOC too. Now on to the next impossible task, the Abstract image challenge - some crackers posted there already !
