I rarely deliberately take photos of objects in motion, not sure why.
Sometimes they only show up by mistake, as when I accidentally opened the scanner lid in the middle of scanning.
Me accidentally taking a photo while moving, creating a streaky motion blur.
Mexican dancer swirling the skirt of her traditional costume. This wasn’t deliberate, there just wasn’t enough light to stop the motion blur. 
More Mexican dancers, with a different sort of dance move/motion blur.
This second part is drawings done in life drawing classes with the models in motion, and has me thinking about how I could achieve this with a camera..
Two quick gouache sketches of a person swinging their arms quickly and their legs slowly (before digital cameras).
A pastel and pencil sketch of two models, both in motion, one walking slowly, the other bicycling, during a life drawing class (before digital cameras). 
Life drawing, the model falling in slow motion.
The model is a dancer from the Vancouver International Dance Festival which sponsors a series of free life drawing sessions.

So talented at sketching – love them. The Mexican dancers are gorgeous too.
Hi, Elizabeth. Wow. Your sketches are fantastic. I love the Mexican dancers, too. It’s fascinating how you create motion on paper. Really outstanding.
Your challenge really got me thinking about motion; all I had time for was to gather previous images of motion. I didn’t have time to work through all my ideas but at any rate I’m off onto another area to explore – so thank you so much for the nudge!
Wonderful! Have fun exploring.
Your drawings are really extraordinary Elizabeth. I especially loved the first model falling. I also loved your image of the Spanish dancer – accidental or not!
I have to thank the various instructors and models who set up those life drawing classes. Motion is a fascinating area of study, and this challenge made me wonder why haven’t spent more time on it!
Love the first, colourful, Mexican dancer!
I noticed I have a number of swirling skirts – this seems a favourite dance move and with the Mexican’s love of colour always wonderful.
Absolutely!
So much creativity.
Mostly on the part of the people who set up the life drawing sessions – something I haven’t explored nearly enough…
The dancers, the drawings, exquisite work.
Some challenges really get me thinking – this was one of them.
I like the colorful Mexican dancer. 👍 Great drawings! I’m still working on stick figures for the game of Hangman.
Mexicans love their music and traditional clothing; Folkloric dancing is the best of both worlds. I can hardly wait until I can travel down to Mexico again – it’s one of my favourite places!
