Q: Find a photograph where the photographer has used a slow shutter speed and describe the subject matter including the background. Discuss any technical difficulties the photographer may have encountered and how these mat have been overcome. 

A: 

In this photo, it appears to be a teddy bear twirling around on a merry-go-round. You can't see much of the background, but since most of it is green, you can assume that the photo was taken at a park. Some problems the photographer may have come across are not being able to keep the teddy bear in a specific spot for the shot. One slight movement of the bear, and the entire photo would have been ruined. It must have been very difficult to keep the bear in one spot until the shutter went off. This problem may have been solved by somehow pinning the bear down by using tape or some other adhesive.
