Header Challenge 27th April 2011–Speed.

This week we have the need for “Speed” as our header theme well speed anyway. I thought I could continue bringing you some animals from Woburn thinking at least some of them must be showing some speed in one or two of my photos.

Unfortunately, they were all having a slow lazy day due to the heat, it was one of the hottest days of the year so far when we visited.

The wolves were just lying around…

Now I’m sure you all know they can be fast when they want to be, when they are running in packs to hunt.

These ones though just wanted to lie around or stroll slooowwly around their area of parkland.

They even stopped to have the odd dip in a pool by the side of the road. This wolf had just got out…

So I’m afraid not much in the way of speed there so to finish I’ve included a photo of one of their mad distant cousins who does enjoy running fast (mostly anyway, sometimes he’s lazy too).

However for my header I’ve decided to go down a different track completely. As it’s been so sunny and warm here recently, the washing has been out on the spin airier in the garden. So with the back drop of the bright yellow rapeseed growing in the field next to our house, I used a tripod and a longish exposure to capture the movement of the washing spinning at speed on the line.

I hope you think it’s worked.

Remember to speed over to view the other headbangers posts and headers after letting me know what you think of this weeks take on speed.
