That's what I figured the motion was . . .

I think I'm past the window where I can get a buzzy bee's blurry wings anymore this season. Could I be so lucky as to catch a falling leaf in a sunbeam in mid flight? We'll see . . .

All kinds of motion going on across the street where workers are coming and going to rehab a house for a TV show. Can't quite figure out how to use that.

Here's some great examples of motion depicted in still images that I can't quite figure out how to capture in a photo. I don't quite have the painter's abstract liberties . . .

Hello, guys. I haven't participated for long time; somehow taking photos with Xperia isn't as much fun as it was with my poor old N9

This photo technically is awful (for some reason, my X. seems unable to focus in low light), but I'll share it nevertheless, for there's another form of motion (or rather movement).



The blue light comes from police cars surrounding us. The white building is cathedral in my hometown of Katowice.

XperiaX, Advanced Camera, cropped and slightly perspective corrected in Darktable.

Honor 9 lite, default cam, no added sugar.

The motion is implemented. Lots of motion: back and forth, back and forth, up and down, up and down, and all the time waving from right to left, left to right, on a very bumpy and muddy surface.

Last moments to dig. Got on to the next level: level 16th century. A coin from 17- -. Haven't tried to check the worn coin better than that. First coin found from that era. My detector had lost the sound. Opened it and the speaker worked only if I pressed it from the middle. Made a small ball out of duck tape to press the middle when speaker in place and now it works and it muted the sound. I had thought to solder an audio controller to do that but now I don't need to.

Did you mean "implied", by any chance? I love the light!

I don't know which I meant, so really can't answer. If you ask me, I meant of course implemented cause I used it (without being sure what it means though). So I meant to say something which I have in mind and used the word "implemented".

Where is the motion, you ask? There is a flying bug over the lake on the right, you'll have to zoom in to see it.

I tried bees on flowers, but focus wouldn't lock on a moving bee. Tried snowflakes falling on autumn leaves, but flakes disappeared against the leaden sky.

But this one I shot later in the day the contest theme was announced. Intended to be a snapshot, but it's got all the elements, so it's my entry. Motion of the kids could be a little more pronounced, but they're clearly in mid-stride.

Xperia camera still busted . . . so OnePlus One, UBPorts, stock camera app. Cropped and color tweaked with digiKam editor. Rule of thirds implemented with blunt object.

Context for this year's corn maze:

Missed the topic i guess... But my pandemic induced incoming lockdown depressive mood did not let me chose a vivid subject i guess.

I currently feel more like one of my friends empty rainy restaurant patio
