okay, thanks. I can tell you that in my view, it can be fun, I like to capture images that show motion and action, however, most of Nichols's stuff to me look just like he lacked the tools or the shutter speed to make the shot, again, his subjects cant carry the day for me, most of his shots are just blury, and I can see why people would find them interesting, but depending on the subject, all you have to do is shoot at 125th or less (again depending on the speed of the animal) have a fast camera, and shoot a lot of frames and you will come home with a tone of blurred images, and if you ad a flash, or some light to the subject you might even get some catch lights that streak too. . .

The cool thing about what he does is that you dont need fast glass and you dont need low iso. On the otherhand, since he is publishing in NG I wonder if he's shooting film? If he's a staff photographer, he likely still is shooting film. . .

Nice work on the photos, stick with it, this photography stuff is all about what makes you happy, not about what other's like or disslike. keep with it if it makes you grow and learn. I like to grow and learn too, and I k now I have a lot of learning left, just not in the blurred photo business - even though I shoot it now and then - I shoot in only when it's neccessary, I dont just shoot slow and go though and find one that turned out. . . Again, I'd like to see his stuff if it were of a house cat, or dog, or everyday subjects instead of africa and gorrials. I swear, if you had a gorilla licking a banana it would sell these days. . .
