I was out in Seattle this past weekend for a wedding, so I took a walk by myself around downtown and looked for motion. Birds were mentioned as being illegal subjects for this assignment (because they are small and composition tends to go out the window when you're shooting something that fast-moving), but I couldn't resist taking a few photos of a pigeon building a nest in the sign for an old ramshackle hotel.
One thing I hadn't realized was how many photos I'd have to take to get the photo I wanted. I have a whole card filled with these pigeons. And I'm still not quite sure whether the blurring I captured was due to motion, and not to the subject being out of focus.
