Welcome to the 199th round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

What an amazing set of action shots! You managed to take the word action and interpret it in various directions, which I really appreciate! I very much enjoyed going through each and every one of your posts and reading your narratives and looking at your photos. Thank you for all of your creative efforts!

Here’s a bit of action, frozen in times…

In this image, that I shot as part of a series of decorative prints for a music school, the action of the metronome is frozen… in multiple locations. Using a bit of rudimentary math, I set up a repeating flash to catch the movement and freeze it at various times. It was one of those fun shots to set up, as it’s not something that one does every day!

Please enjoy the following blog posts:

1. Kammie kicks things off this week with some great action in her post in Nut House Central; the spider video is just amazing!
2. We get some rather high flying action in theOnlyD800intheHameau, as we see the Air Force of the United Arab Emirates in action!
3. Jackie captures some stunning action in her post in JunkBoat Travels, as the birds are coming back to settle in for the night.
4. Nicole catches the penguins at a wonderful time of action in her photo in Un Photo,Une Poeme; feeding time is probably the penguins favorite time too!

7. Diane shares some wonderful action photos of Maggie in her post in pensivity101. At the age of 15, some of the speed may be lacking, but her heart is still there!
8. Elizabatz brings us a view of the speed of a particular dog on a beach in Wales in Albatz Travel Adventures; the dog looks extremely fast!
9. Tatiana shares some of the action in Vegas in her post in Vegas Great Attractions, where the free entertainment can definitely be very entertaining!

16. The sand dunes of Ilocos are definitely a place for action, which we get to enjoy in a great post in My Camera and I…; sliding down the dunes looks like fun!
17. Rupali captured the most delicate of action in mazeepuran, as the butterfly exerts the gentlest of actions!
18. Viveka really pulled out all the stops in her action photos in myguiltypleasures; I particularly like the young lad flying through the air!

20. David shares some incredible photos in his post in David M’s Photoblog; I’m blown away by the shot of the nestlings yelling for food!
21. Xenia really pegs the pied wagtail for what it is: very active, as can be seen in her post in Tranature. Of course, when we look at Xenia’s post in her wonderful blog, whippetwisdom, we see what we expect from a whippet: action!!
22. Radhika has some wonderful action photos in her post in radhikasreflection! I always wonder how many of those mortarboard hats find their owner again!
23. As we can see in sgeoil, there’s something special about the simple action of a human walking with their dog…
24. Sandy brings the river’s perpetual flow to the foreground in her post in Out of my Write Mind; there’s something eternal about that, as the river’s water eventually makes its way back toward the mountains and retraces its journey!
25. Maria has some fantastic action shots in her post in Kamerapromenader; the little bird in the second photo is really eye-catching!
26. Nandini has another wonderful set of haikus in her post in queennandini; several of them really caught me by surprise!

30. Deb shares a fantastic shot in her post in Twenty Four; the timing on taking the shot is just spot on!
31. TiongHan has a wonderful approach to the theme in his post in TiongHan’s Blog; the action here is that of a sale on all sorts of goods!
32. Woolly has some truly amazing actions shots in his post in WoollyMuses; the kitesurfing was cool, as is the bicycle race; however, the surfing is just stunning!

35. I very much enjoy the photo that we get to see in Geriatri’X’ Fotogallery, as it captures the action perfectly. It’s pretty gnarly!

40. There’s a certain juxtaposition of speed of action in the wonderful photo in Land of Images; the dunes might be moving, but their pace is not quite that of the seagull…
41. Aletta’s post in her blog nowathome highlights several types of action; I have to admit that going down a water slide is my kind of action!
42. Hannah caught the action of the seagull just at the right moment in her post in Zebra’s Child; great shot!
