Sequencing - Image Bank

I like this image as it shows how birds position themselves when coming in to land. It almost looks as though there's four different birds in one image due to the steadiness of the tripod. I would like to recreate an image similar, although I would have to be very patient and use a quick shutter speed. Moreover, I admire how the background is blurred, allowing you to focus solely on the bird itself, and its movement. 

This image is a sporting image which allows us to see in further detail the various twists and turns of the individual in the image. The overall shape of the jump is a curve leading downhill over the bump, this carries your eye downwards towards the corner of the image. I would like to attempt and recreate something similar, but, I do not live near snow therefore it's unrealistic for me to attempt to recreate this image; however I could do this on a smaller scale, for example using a skateboard. 

In this image the splash left by the individual is kept, I like this as you can see their starting, and finishing position due to the two splashes they leave. Furthermore, I like the kite in the air as it creates a curved shape which follows the pattern of the individual. The colours in this image are all quite cold, which allows them all to work well together.

This image shows how the skaters turn, the curved line takes your eye on a journey down to the foreground of the image. Moreover, I believe the fact you can see the shadows still in the image adds to the effect of it being a sequence as we can see the individuals movement changing, whilst the shadows do too. This image contains a lot of different stages, not just a few images, therefore the individual must have obtained a fast shutter speed and took burst photos, then selecting the best after. 

The image above is of a bird diving into water, in order to retrieve a fish. I like the splash in the image and how the water is everywhere, as this creates a feeling of chaos. There's only 4 different stages in this image, but we can still see the whole process being carried out. The bird is the only object in focus, this allows us to concentrate solely on the animal, and not be distracted by anything in the background. 

This image is extremely interesting as it even shows the individual entering the water. For this to occur the individual must have had a water proof camera with the lens partly above, and under the water's surface. There's a lot of stages in this photograph therefore, a lot of pictures would have been taken. The background is black, with the water, diving board and diver the only things in focus, and in colour.
