I've been thinking about what I could try to expand beyond my photographic style and what I'm used to. I tend to concentrate of still life, landscapes, or people scenes - all of which pose little difficulty in framing and capturing.
While looking through some of the pictures on my memory card, I saw one I took of my daughter riding her scooter that was half in focus, half motion blurred - and I was smitten! Ever since then, I've been reading up on how to 'properly' catch a great motion shot.
Assignment: Capture motion.
An awesome tip to get you started: Try capturing a moving object between a still foreground and background keeping the focus on the subject closest to you.
Here's a link to an article on motion photography for beginners for more info.
Also - Yesterday I opened up a Flickr group where you can upload and share all of your weekly prompt and photo assignment pics. There's a button in the sidebar for easy access.
Feel free to post your motion assignment work there or share a link in the comments on this post.
Here's a sample from last week's assignment 'One Subject at Different Angles' by Kris.

Hi, thanks for the post and link. Very informative and interesting. I do not bother much with focusing moving object known, since I use https://macphun.com/focus. Take photos, corrects it in the editor to focus on a desired object known, and that's it. Good luck.
