Photos 8: Sense of Movement

Photo 1: To me, this is kind of an illusion. At first glance, I like to think that it looks like the bottom of a giant rocket ship with loads of engines propelling it through space. But it's just the ground at a water thing in Salt Lake. So the water is moving, not the ground. This is an example of induced movement. The quality of the movement is vertical for the most part.

Photo 2: This and the next photo are examples of movement in different forms. The photo above shows the boy to be moving because of the background's blurriness. Thus, the movement feels relative because he appears to be moving on the z-axis. Also, the background seems to be moving behind him, also creating relative movement. You might say here that because this is a still, there is no z-axis movement at all, therefore the movement is simply camera movement, because the subject is stationary in the frame.

Photo 3: This photo however is not camera movement, but rather object movement. The boy appears to be moving now because he is blurry, and the background is relatively stationary. The quality of these last two movements is diagonal. The three photos from top to bottom create a continuum of movement due to the points of attention in each photo that goes from left to right.
