PHOTO OF THE WEEK: CAMERA TRICKS

Good day, today we will talk about camera tricks and tips for taking unsual photos.
LAST WEEK:
Abstract photos were due now they are PAST DUE!
We are moving onto the movement assignment:
Suggestions:

• try to stop water/liquid
• pan with a subject (follow person running with the camera as you take the shot)
• blur the background and keep the subject clear.
• try photoshop techniques
• use light and draw with it in the dark (flashlight, fire, glow stick, cell phone)

Other Techniques To Capture Motion

Besides the two main techniques described above, you can also freeze the entire field of vision or blur everything. Freezing the entire scene can give your photographs a unique look, especially if the objects strongly imply movement. For example, consider a bird that is flying in front of a waterfall. Both imply motion to the viewer. Freezing the entire scene captures that motion in a single moment and can produce a breathtaking image. You should use a shutter speed of at least 1/1000th of a second for this type of shot.

Assignment #6 Movement

Movement can be hard to capture. Think about implied movement as well as an action shot. Try using the difference functions of your camera in order to try and catch someone or something in motion. It's amazing really how much there is to see in the world.

This assignment is to capture movement on camera. This can be difficult if you're not careful. There is a difference between blur to show movement and just a blurry image.
You can capture movement by slowing down your shutter speed, by decreasing your ISO, and/or by increasing your aperture. It is a good idea to use a tripod in these cases.
You can get a blurred background with a sharper subject by following your moving subject and then snapping the shot.

You don't need blur to show movement. If you don't have the capabilities to use a slow shutter speed and a tripod, you can also photograph the suggestion of movement. Creating images with curves can imply movement.
Criteria for assignment: Movement

You must photograph many images, experimenting with different settings on your camera. Please submit 6 perfected expressions of movement. Save the images in your folder titled: Movement.

Here are some examples of movement shots: Blurring background

 FREEZING ACTIONcomplete blur
 MOVEMENT WITH LIGHT

 FROZEN WATER MOTION
