Title unashamedly nicked from a Kylie record :)
A spinning coin shot with a longish exposure and a strobe. One of a million attempts!

Critique Club:

Initial: good motion capture.

Composition: I believe the image could be lower in the frame. Seems a bit top heavy. I like how the coin's movement creates a globe effect.

Technical: Choice of Aperature/Shutter Speed is excellent. Movement is captured without losing detail. Lighting is a bit too dark, and the backdrop/cloth is linty.

What I like the most: The movement, and globe effect.
What I would change: I would try to lower the subject in the frame and brighten the image.

I like this. One of my favorite shots in the motion challenge. I wish that the surface wasn't so linty. otherwise, a very nice shot. The angle and framing/cropping are really good, and the lighting on the subject is good as well. Good luck in the challenge.

Focus and lighting are good. Subject matter is interesting. Really meets the challenge. 8 waltoml.

Very nice. This is a great shot. I think the Quality of the color of the paper is somewhat blotchy causeing this shot to look blurry or for a better word grainy. maybe it is just my screen.

Great shot looks awesome, Was this done with a strobe? at first glance I thought it was a gyroscope, but it's a coin right? Looks great, well done.
