Have to see what I can catch with motion this weekend. Our car is now kapunkt and the cats are too lazy to move at all so motion might be a bit hard this week.

Irv I admit I'm struggling with this week's. Mainly because we've had guests all week and looking after them has left very little time for anything else.

I might be able to get something this afternoon, but if I cannot enter this week I apologise.  :-[

Jim

Like you I am torn between these two from a local fiesta parade last night. The first may be a bit too abstract.

Don't worry yourself H - it is 'spose to be all about having fun with the topic, beside I only have one poor effort and I am rather hoping to get something when I take the dog out soon.

It does say 'no added blur' but does'nt seem to disallow cutting your model in half!! :2funny:

Just added my entry for this week which has a slight twist on the subject.

Motion......less:

Had another busy weekend (house hunting!) so not had much chance to get a shot of moving things and thought this shot might be a nice twist  ;D

Cheers

Steve

Did this with a green torch, mirror and a long exposure.
