I feel a 'selfie' coming up for this one - a picture of me 'actually' moving :tup:
Though do have a few other ideas... Less unpleasant for people to look at :doh:

I always knew OB is a Dangerous Duck!
The weather may steal my idea off me, but we will see. It can't rain all week! I'm enjoying my photography lots right now, especially because I have some new equipment to try and new techniques to play with. I'm hoping to be able to use my extension tubes for my 'Things That Move' image as I have only tinkered with them, not used them yet for an image. They were a gift from my children for Christmas.
DigiDiva, It seems to have been raining for months and I wouldn't bet on it stopping.
I'm aware I've missed a few comps so I've got in early an early one this time. I liked the reflections, but they didn't work as well as I hoped.

Suddenly realise it has to be 'things' that move. Was subconsciously thinking of people or animals.
"Things" can be people or animals too... it's open to interpretation
Shot several 'moving' things this week (Cross Roads was one of the contenders), but I am in with this 'Cyclist at Speed,'

very nice R, well spotted and executed.
I finally go my 'train' photo today, one I had been planning on for a while. Will upload tomorrow.

oh no, not another 'train' shot! Was just checking this comp was still in date before i popped over the road to get my train shot - live opposite Ipswich Freight Yard and Railway Station.
A very busy place...
So, will just have to look for something else to photograph... Wonder if there are any snails out yet? :2funny:

Thanks Jediboy. Apart from the 'Cross Roads,' I had the 'wet dog' (Shake) in mind, but in the end preferred the powerful graffiti, with the almost wispy cyclist.

Would be nice to compare Ozzie and British trains.

There is that option - though in the UK, we tend to have high speed trams as opposed to trains, featureless alluminium boxes on wheels with irritating passenger announcements.
I'm just seeing if a can find a police officer who is issuing a ticket for loitering with intent (to move!) :idea:
Or a speed camera in use - it doesn't move, but it records things that do :-X
Nice take on the subject Reinardina, not thought about it yet as I have been working on my camper but tomorrow is another day.
Took this driving home tonight, will enter for now.
Night Drive (The Car)

We have featureless boxes that always run late (if at all). However with a little photo enhancement you can make the train run 'really fast'.
At least this one was on time!

Snails were gonna be one of my ideas!
Im wondering if its worth bothering as the entries are superb so far. Well done so far everyone.

Look at my tag at the bottom of my posts Chris ;) thats how to approach this.

Instead of not even trying, this should spur you on to go one better!
Good luck.
I did say that tongue in cheek. There has to be losers for there to be winners. In preping for my shot soon.

You're never a loser, as long as you have enjoyed taking and editing the shot.
I agree Reinardina- I have taken an hour and a half to take and edit my image. This is something I have never tried before and it was great fun and a learning curve too. I might try this again tomorrow for a better image, using better lighting but this is (or a first glimpse of my idea for ) my entry
Tick Tock
Tis is my 2nd attempt. Much happier with it. The other one was too busy and this time, I think less is more. I have called it "The Ticking Of The Clock"

was about to pop and get my entry, only to be stopped by torrential rain and strong winds - not good for a tripod based shot.
However, I can get round the rain by upgrading my X-Pro 1 to the new (as yet to be officially announced) weather sealed XT- 1 with Shopping Carrier bag and an eleastic band :tup:
That should save me about £800!
Now to check the weather for the rest of the day - I do, after all, have until midnight to get my shot
Andrew, hope you have managed an image - looking forward to your entry.
Chris, the time is wrong in your second picture ;) :legit:
It's on Tenerife time......
Chris, I agree, that second image is my preferred image. It has more contrast and you can see slightly more of the clock face, but with the hands to the back they don't overwhelm it. I really like it.
and as for Tenerife time, is that like Manyana!
Very tricky choice this week, but a decision has been made.
I didn't manage either the time or the inspiration this week.
