 Was photographing scenery off in the distance (for the challenge) and was taken by surprise by this guy in the distance getting dinner. Didnt get the camera stopped down to deal with the light so got a little motion blur. Wish I had reacted a bit quicker. I keep going back and forth on whether I like the blur. Its a bit unique, but distracting too. Shot with 70-200mm f2.8 lens with 1.7x teleconverter from ~100 yards away.

Ah but this is just right to get the textures and the light and the colour. Let magic happen, I say.

I have a full appreciation of just how difficult it is to take one of these images. You may want to set your camera at a faster speed and see if you can invest in a longer lens. The best of luck to you in the challenge.
