One of the features you will find in my Snapshots to Great Shots series is called Poring Over the Picture.  In the beginning of each chapter are a couple of images from within the chapter itself that are blown up and given further detail on how I made the photo.  This includes a narrative that gives a little background on the scenario surrounding the image. This past week I have been trying to finish up my next book in the series for the Canon Rebel T1i/500D.  As I was working on the chapter called Moving Target I found a great shot that demonstrates the process of using a slow shutter speed to show motion.  Here is a sample from the Poring Over the Picture section and the image that I used.

Poring Over the Picture

I can always depend on my local county fair for some unique photo opportunities.  Each year I grab my camera and a couple of lenses and head off to the midway to capture some great images.  This year I happened to be walking by the merry-go-round when I saw the operator standing vigil in the center of the ride.  As the carousel started to turn, I set my camera on a fence and took several images in an attempt to show the spinning motion of the ride as it swirled around the operator.  Luckily he cooperated by standing still and I got the shot I was after.
