Shutter Speeds 2 & Photo Challenge

Motion. Fall. One picture per subject showing an effective use of the technique. 
We reviewed the motion photos in class, then looked at each student's fall photo (no one knew whose picture was whose) and voted on our favorite. 
Below are my submissions:

This is my friend Madison. Or rather, these are Madison's hands. While we were waiting for a class at co-op to start, she sat down and started playing a piano in the room. I had my camera with me, and jumped at the opportunity to do some homework. 

My cousin Jess and her husband Levi were here visiting for the weekend. Jess (who lives in CA but is from NJ) needed her fall fix, so we went to a farm and got hot apple cider, shot pumpkins from a pumpkin slingshot, and just had fun. This little boy had just walked over and was sitting on the edge of an enormous pile of pumpkins. About five seconds after I snapped the picture, he got up and walked away.

Playing with some blurred motion in front of our house. These were really fun to take! 

I have a bunch more, but these two are probably the coolest. 
 

This is my friend's little sister running in a field. The grasses are starting to flatten now, but in the summer, they're taller than me!

Ahh, fall. It used to be my least favorite season because it was when the weather got cold again. Now, I don't mind the cold as much, and I thoroughly enjoy watching the colors change. It never ceases to amaze me how many different colors and shades there are, and how magnificent they look blowing in the wind together.

Corn mazes and hot apple cider are two of the best things of fall! 

 Although, shooting little pumpkins from big slingshots is pretty darn sweet too...
