May challenge (Fast Shutter)

[OPS Notices]

A day early but I'll post this. Part of the summer challenge, the next subject is Fast Shutter.

We capture a moment in time with every photo we take, but with a fast shutter speed that moment is extremely small. Often only a long as 1/4000th of a second.
As we are capturing motion with our fast shutter speeds, how about capturing some cool action such as drips, spills, breaks or spins? Any type of movement, however, can be suitable for fast shutter speed photography. Think also of birds in flight, people in motion, and ink in water photography.

You can post after the end of May, I only create topics to collate all the entries in separate threads.

My first entry following an early visit today at Kelsey Park when taking my car for service, I had several hours to check out the forthcoming outing.

Obviously it was very windy today which made the young Heron's somewhat agitiated around the many nests of the lake.

I have never seen so many Herons (possibly 6-10) in one location all busily getting branches and twigs to build up their windswept nests. (brilliant morning and conditions)

Barrie, You got the 'decisive moment' in the first shot.  Great capture!
