Photographing in Motion By Francine Dulay

In this project, we were assigned to play around with our cameras to photograph pictures to capture motion. There are a few ways of showing motion, such as panning, stopping motion, exaggerated movement and blurring. This project was difficult to do at first because the photos were either too dark or too bright so we had to keep playing with the camera with the shutter speed, aperture and the ISO to get the proper kind of picture we wanted to take. A slower/smaller shutter speed allows us to take photos with a blur while a faster/bigger shutter speed makes everything in the picture look clear and in focus.





The photo above, is panning, Panning is where you move the camera with a moving subject to capture the effect where the subject is in focus while the things around them are not. I've used fast shutter speed to take this photo, such as 1/60. The shutter speed is enough to make the subject clear.


Stopping motion is where you take a picture when something is moving and capturing just one part of that movement. You would need a higher shutter speed so that everything in the photo is clear and in focus. 


In an exaggerated movement photo, you can clearly tell that their gestures are exaggerated and more elaborated to make that model appear more expressive of their actions.




In the photo, this is called blur to show motion. It's where something in the photo is blurred while the others are in focus to show that something is moving, Such as in the photo above, the dice is blurred because the photo was taken when they are falling back down after the model had thrown them in the air.
