Photos 1 and 2
Photograph a scene/subject that demonstrates details of something moving (water, ball, vehicle, etc.). Take a photo of the same scene/setting twice, changing the shutter speed for each photo, as noted below:
Photo 1: use a fast shutter speed
Photo 2: use a slow shutter (you will most likely need to use a tripod or have the camera resting on something still. TIP: use the timer!)

The photo shows good exposure without overexposure or underexposure, indicating an understanding of light balance when adjusting shutter speed.
The photo demonstrates a creative or unique approach to capturing motion or freezing it in time, showing thought and planning in the shot.
