The ability to capture the moving world around us.
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Motion in Photography
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Motion photography is about showing movement. Adding a slight blur of the action to your shot helps tell a story. This storytelling element makes the images a little less static and unexpected. Images with movement tend to be eye-catching; they drag the viewer into the frame and force the eye to glide along with the moving elements.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different techniques and gradually show your success!
Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO...
These three camera and lens controls work together to regulate the amount of light that makes it to the light-sensitive surface (aperture and shutter speed) and the sensitivity of that surface (film or digital ISO).
Remember! When you adjust ONE part of the Exposure Triangle you must compensate with another!
Example: Higher shutter speed= change ISO or fStop so the Exposure meter is correct!
For this assignment, you will photograph moving objects in three different ways.
You will need a partner!!!
You will photograph MOVING subjects in 3 different ways!
STOP ACTION
Try using a stop action SHUTTER SPEED of 1/1000+ of a second.
The idea is to FREEZE the moving object!
You will name the file:
First Name Last Name FREEZE.psd
Click the Right Cross Key
Let's change the Drive mode to HIGH SPEED CONTINUOUS
This means you click the button and it fires multiple times!
Shoot your Stop action in the bright sun. This allows you to use fast shutter speeds.
BLUR (Panning Photography)
Start with a shutter speed of 1/100
As your tracking gets better, start lowering the shutter speed...
Try getting to a shutter speed of 1/30 while “panning” your subject.
Follow along at the same speed as your subject!
For this shot, try using a high/greater depth of field (higher setting)
You will name the file:
First Name Last Name PAN.psd
Click the Right Cross Key
Let's change the Drive mode to HIGH SPEED CONTINUOUS
This means you click the button and it fires multiple times!
Shoot your blur shot in the shade or at least subdued lighting.
MOTION BLUR (Long Shutter Speed) Tripod needed!
With a tripod- try a SHUTTER SPEED at 1/4 -1/2 of a second.
Subject will stay still but something else in shot will move. For this the camera needs to be VERY still!
You will name the file:
First Name Last Name BLUR.psd
Click the Right Cross Key
Let's change the Drive mode to SINGLE SHOOTING
This means you click the button one shot at a time!
Each day you take photos you will make sure to download images BEFORE leaving class!
Click OPEN (on the left)
Navigate to Desktop> PHOTOGRAPHY folder>MOTION
Select ONE of the subjects/images you would like to work with.
You should have multiple of each motion subject to choose from!
Always select the best image based upon three criteria:
Does it work for your assignment?
Is it a good exposure?
Is the subject in focus?
Is motion shown?
Click OPEN
CHOOSE YOUR BEST IMAGES! If they don't meet the criteria, check out a camera and go shoot some more!

Remember! If your image area is dark, make your signature WHITE. If the image area is light, make your signature BLACK!
Make sure you have added the vignette AND your signature!
Each image MUST have YOUR signature on the bottom right!
You will export 3 images:

One image must show STOP ACTION (FREEZE)
One image must show BLUR (PAN)
