Object and Motion

Get a beach ball, with it, represent motion in different situations. Two pictures inside with indoor light, two outside with outdoor light from the sun or street lights, and lastly two using the same object outside with something that changes the narrative.
Learning Outcomes:
It's hard to show motion but not impossible if you keep trying.
I wanted to be creative with this project doing something I didn't think anyone else would think of, wearing the beach ball as a mask and a hat to look like a burglar on the run. This was a long process as getting photos in focus and I liked took over an hour in a sweaty deflated ball.
For this image, we were required to show the ball with another object in motion changing the narrative. My idea was to strap the ball to a car while someone drives. I sit in the back with a tripod holding the camera as still as possible doing 15-30s exposures trying to capture that feeling of speed. In the end i think it worked out great.
