A kind of photography that is used commonly in photographing sports or really fast moving objects is called motion photography. Motion photography can either be used as a term to capture fast moving subjects into stills or even to create blurs. In order to take a picture with blur, you need to slow your shutter speed down, when you do this you allow the camera’s sensor to take in all the light that it can in the slow shutter. When you do this, you will notice movement, but if you do not adjust your aperture your photo will be over exposed. So with that said, you want do compensate the shutter speed with the aperture. For instance you might shoot at a shutter speed of 2” (“ meaning second) with a aperture of f/20. You want to make sure that in your photograph, you do not find over exposed parts in the photograph. An example of a motion photograph with movement is:

Another example of motion photography is capturing stills. In this kind of photography, you wont be able to find any blur or notice any motion. In order to do this you want do increase you shutter to speed, to a speed like 1/1000-1/8000 depending your lighting situation. With sports photography, a standard 1/1000 is a good shutter because it is at the point where you will not see blur or motion. With this you want to decrease you aperture so you can have as high of a shutter speed as possibly, a f/2.8 would be the most handy. An example of still motion photography would be:

I really like motion photography. My favorite is a blurred motion picture, especially when the photograph is taken at night. I love how sometimes instead of seeing the object that is moving, you see just a line of light. In digital photography class, I did a photo shoot on lines. When I was looking for good examples of photographs with lines, I came across a picture of a ferris wheel. But I could only see a glowing line outlining the shape of the wheel; I couldn't see the actual ferris wheel. I thought that was pretty cool! Your picture depicting blurred motion photography is a great picture!
ReplyDeleteStills have to be taken at the PERFECT moment or else the picture is not very good. I find this very hard to do, but apparently you don't. Great picture and awesome blog!
