  I love these Tony. The one of the Redcoats is my favorite. Did you twist the zoom to get this effect?

  Thanks Rita and Susan..the lens I used is an older one and actually uses a push and pull motion to zoom out and in, but yes, that is exactly what I did...used f32 0.40 seconds to keep the shutter open long enough to achieve the effect..

  Great shots for the monthly challenge. I especially like the first one! All the squiggly lines remind me of notes and it's like you captured the music along with the marching band. :~)

  Tony, I love the second shot. The squiggly lines in the first were pretty distracting for me . . . not that I want to disagree with Aimee. :)

  YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE! #1 - way too much motion for me with those squiggly lines. Makes me seriously nauseous. Actually like #2. I can look at it for about 15 seconds before I get dizzy. I like how you can focus in on the band and then the effect just adds more drama to the image. Very nicely done, Tony!

  Thanks Chrisite...I'll send you some Zofran (strong nausea medicine) the next time I post some like this...fear not though, the month is almost over and our next topic is a bit more docile...

  This was a fun but dizzy challenge. Great job Tony. I like the RedCoats but the Dynamic Band is my favorite. The trees look like they are exploding with the music.

  I agree Tony - both have their own merits many of which were mentioned in the comments. Enter them both as you said. Both are really fun.
