  Q. Masters of Motion

Asked by Chris Hawkins    (K=1508) on 8/16/2000 
Who has excelled in conveying the impression of motion in a single photograph? What images come to mind? What made them successful?


    



 Tony Rowlett   (K=1575) - Comment Date 8/16/2000
My favorite photograph for this effect is the one by Jacques-Henri Latrigue of the moving race car taken with a camera that has a vertical traveling focal-plane shutter. It caused the wheels to appear oval shaped.





 Bill Mitchell   (K=659) - Comment Date 8/16/2000
Mine too, Tony. How about Philippe Halsman's "Dali Atomicus" with three live cats and a bucket of water. Done over, and over, and over, until they got it right.





 Todd Frederick   (K=529) - Comment Date 8/17/2000
Ernst Haas produced some wonderful images with very slow shutter speeds of horses, and also some interesting wave motion in his book Creation.





 Tony Rowlett   (K=1575) - Comment Date 8/17/2000
Actually, now that Bill mentions it, Philippe Halsman's "Dali Atomicus" has to be the best! I have always been amazed by that one. How in the world he accomplished it is totally beyond me. But talk about "motion!"

Todd, I'd have to agree on Ernst Haas, but would pick the bullfight pictures. Gosh, they were revolutionary at the time. Still are, I guess.

All the work of Lois Greenfield who set off a wave of imitators. She has a website at www.loisgreenfield.com.

That's easy. Nearly anything by Harold Egerton. My fav is a rifle slug shaving a playing card in half.The pioneering strobe maestro's work never fails to inspire jaw-dropping awe and admiration.





 Tony Rowlett   (K=1575) - Comment Date 8/17/2000
I don't understand how such awesome "stop-action" strobe technique conveys the impression of motion as effectively as a photograph with some motion blur. As awe inspiring as his work is, my impression is that most everything is in perfect focus and completely frozen. I may be confusing him and his work with somebody else, though. Just rambling...





 Jeff Spirer   (K=1973) - Comment Date 8/17/2000
My guess is that many of us here have photographs that have done this, and that would be a far more interesting exercise than looking at some famous photos.

Now there you go Jeff, using the "rule" of thirds. Ha. Ha. James

One image that caught my eye was made by a non-famous photographer. If I remember correctly, the image appeared in the Kodak pic contest in Photo Life magazine. A the finish line of an athletism race, all the runners are blurred while one official is standing still.

Not a particular photograph, but a subject, is the generic waterfall shot with a slow shutter speed.

I like the photograph of Sally Mann's son Emmit, standing in a dark river, with his hands forming ripples on the surface of the water... t
