Part 4. Project 2. Ex 1

In this exercise I am to look at a series of images and see if they successfully convey movement.

Derek Trillo – Passing Place

This image successfully depicts movement through the blurred nature of the two people on the stairs.

Harold Edgerton – Bullet and Apple

This image successfully depicts movement by freezing in time the moment when a bullet passes through the apple. The entrance and exit wounds on the apple are still dynamically evolving and this is what gives the sense of motion.

Harold Edgerton – Multiflash tennis serve

This sense of movement is achieved by using a burst flash with a longer shutter speed. This has enabled the full motion to be captured by the camera.

This image is called ‘Cousin Bichonnade in Flight’ by Lartigue. It is the action of the character, her positioning and obvious dynamic movement that shows us movement here. There is no way she could be in that position without having leapt down the stairs.
