This assignment is actually two: Virtual Volume and Blurred Motion

Virtual Volume
The objective of this assignment is to explore the effect of slow shutter speeds. Namely, showing the passage of time through blur. We're interested in:

The character or personality of the blur,
and the shape of the blur.

You'll want to photograph in low light (otherwise your slow shutter speeds will be overexposed). If you shoot in bright light, use a polarizing or neutral density filter to cut down the amount of light.

Pick your two best. Edit: black and white, cropped 8x10. Upload to Flickr,
Title: Virtual Volume.

Blurred Motion
Take a series of images of a moving object. Vary your shutter speeds from 1/1000 down, to slow enough that the object blurs.

Use a background darker than the subject so the subject, not the background, is being exposed.

Pick five photos (color or black and white… cropped to square, 5x7 or 8x10, your choice) that show an increase in blur (from static, no motion all the way to very blurry and lots of motion). Upload to Flickr. Title: Blurred Motion.
