~Lesson 8~

This is my dad (Scott) sprinting along Clearwater Beach in Florida. It was an awesome hot sunny day. We went here with friends to celebrate my mum's birthday!

This is my sister Shae jumping in the waves at Clearwater Beach also enjoying the nice weather.

 Watch out!!! Travis Harper was in an intense nerf fight with his brother Brad. They were having a blast running in and out of the playground equipment in Bayou Segnette State Park, just outside of busy New Orleans, LA

A beautiful grey heron was caught in flight just before driving down to catch a fish in Lake Conroe, Conroe, Texas. 

Bradley Harper enjoys jumping on his trampoline in his back yard on a nice clear blue sunny day in Brentwood Bay, BC

David Booth from the Vancouver Canucks warms up before the game vs the Anaheim Ducks.

 Capturing motion for me was something that was different every time I tried it because no jump/run /flip etc, was ever the same. I had a lot of fun during the assignment because I love doing sports and other activities that involve jumping/running etc, so I had the chance to capture the moments that I am usually involved in. By trial and era I figured out that by standing low and facing the camera up at the object it tended to make the jump/flip look better and higher because it was taken at a viewpoint different from the regular “straight on” shot. I also found that when I am taking a picture of a fast moving object it worked a lot better when I put the camera on “continuous mode” so it took a few that I could chose from instead of just working with one or having to keep trying over and over. I like taking movement pictures with somewhat of a plain background so when people look at it they focus on the main object, not the clutter in the back. I had a fun time experimenting with movement and trying different ways to make the pictures turn out differently from regular action shots. 

Isaiah 40:28-31

Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary,

and his understanding no one an fathom.

He gives strength to the weary

and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the Lord

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.
