Motion

A05 Motion this is for my photography one class and I’m in need of someone either taking thepictures or finding picture that aren’t online. They can be yours or someone else as along as itpertain to assignment objective, which is images/ pictures with motion.

Camera Set-Up:
Shooting Mode: Shutter Priority or “S” (Nikon) or “TV” (Canon).
Set the Shutter to 1/1000
ISO Setting: 400 (Can be raised if needed to maintain the 1/1000 shutter speed if you run into overcast outdoor conditions).
Camera Filetype/Size: Large JPG file format.
Focus Mode: (Focus Tracking) AI, AI Servo, or Manual (if you would like).
White Balance: Auto.
Picture Style: Standard
Skill Points:
Exploring the use of shutter speed as a creative tool.
Learning what visual elements create a focal point.
Developing an eye for placing focal points within a composition.
Procedure:
Shoot outdoors on a sunny day preferably.
Find a place with a lot of action like the bike path, beach volleyball, kids on swings, or outdoor athletic events.
Use whichever focal length creates good framing of the subject/action.
Be ready to anticipate the subject moving into your frame or follow them in your frame until the action hits its’ peak. Practice – Be patient.
You choose the subject. Running, jumping, dogs in mid-air catching Frisbees, your choice, but make sure you choose very fast-moving subjects.
Look for the peak of action. People in mid-air, basketball jump shot, spiking a volleyball, crashing waves, etc.
Be sure to shoot a variety of subjects, not just the same one over and over.
No people walking with baby strollers or bikes ‘cruising slowly’ on the bike path, no cats indoors.
The goal is to ‘FREEZE’ fast-moving subjects.
