Exercise: Shutter speeds - location ideas

I have been wracking my brains to think of a fun and interesting way to carry out the shutter speeds exercise.  I have noticed that most people resort to sitting by the side of a road and capturing cars as they drive past at various speeds.  I am keen to do something different.

Some ideas I have had so far are:
  • sit on a roundabout in a kids playground and photograph the world as I spin around
  • place my camera in a shopping trolley and photograph it being pushed around the supermarket (credit goes to Endre 3000 for this idea http://www.flickr.com/photos/47669578@N07/4861467145/in/photostream/)
  • take photographs of London tubes arriving in to a station using a wide angle lens
  • take photographs while sitting on a swing

I will explore these ideas over the coming days, as time allows.

  2. Hi Nicola, thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate the feedback. This is my first distance learning course and so I am feeling rather isolated.
