Sack Race

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted September 3, 20154,214 views5 comments

Our church put on a family fun day for anyone in the community that wanted to come and I got to photograph it. We had all kinds of fun games for the kids, one of which was a sack race. I slowed my shutter speed down and played around. I got a couple of shots that I like and shows the kids having a great time. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

Good sense of motion from the pan. I'm glad you caught some focus!devil

Very effective use of shutter speed. I find the background a bit distracting; maybe a different angle to minimize the distractions?

Great expression and I like the sense of action. I do agree the background is a bit distracting.

A fun and exciting photograph. These fast-action pictures are definitely not easy to make and you have done a tremendous job here.
