Since I had to take these photos using the self-timer, a challenge that arose was creating the right placement and view of the movement before the movement actually occurred. Often I would look through the camera to see where an object was in the image, and try and arrange myself and the movement in the frame near the that object.

Also, at first my shutter speed was too slow, and it was hard to differentiate any object at all because of all of the movement, so I had to readjust until I thought that the speed was right and produced a movement that was not too blurry, but that still had clear movement and that still often "blended" with the surroundings.
