Motion

In this project you are tasked to capture motion. This can take the form of freezing motion, blurring motion, or panning motion.

The idea is to somehow depict the sense of movement within a single image while continuing to maintain the character of the event or action. In other words, make sure the motion is correct to show the nature of the event/action, such as direction of movement in relation to the camera.

Try using your sport mode



or Shutter Priority

In Manual or Shutter Priority Modes:

Remember faster shutter speeds mean freezing motion, but they mean less light requiring some other setting to allow more light into the camera, usually aperture and iso.

Turn on Vibration Reduction (Image Stabilization) if you have it.

Turn on continuous shooting and any type of Auto Focus Servo if desired.



You may utilize flash, but remember that flash will freeze motion, so if you plan on using it, make sure that freezing the motion is what the image requires.

If your camera has the ability to change when the flash fires (1st or 2nd curtain) then try playing with that.

Remember that direction of travel in relation to the camera is the most important factor to consider when blur is desired.

Shoot many images, edit and choose 5 to turn in.
