This assignment gave us the opportunity to take pictures of different types of motion. Panning, exaggerated motion, stopping motion, and blur to show motion. To take the "right" picture, we had to play with the settings of the camera. The shutter speed, aperture, and the ISO speed, it depends on the motion that we're taking. At first, we weren't really sure how to take the pictures in action, but after playing and working with the camera and the props, we were getting used to it.

PANNING

To pan, you need to take multiple pictures following the subject's movement. The subject will be the main focus in the picture and the background will be blurry. 

EXAGGERATED MOTION

This is a motion where the subject(person) is creating an impression or overdoing something to make a unique picture, doing something different to make the picture better.

STOPPING MOTION

This motion shows one subject that is moving but its clear and it's on focus. Everything can be blurry but one subject needs to be on focus. You just need to take the picture at the right time, it might take a while but you will get it eventually.

BLUR TO SHOW MOTION

This motion is where people are moving and creating different types of movement. In some pictures, the main focus is the props and the people that are working/ playing with the props are blurred out but it can also be the other way around.

In this assignment, we were given the task of capturing motion using much different technique's. Panning, Blur to Stop Motion, Exaggerated Movement and Stopping Motion. Capturing movement in images is something we don't see in most pictures being published, we don't see a part of the image before or after it was taken. I learned that with such little or exaggerated movement can change the perspective of the image. Each of these images came more alive and added a sense of dimension compared to images that we normally shoot. Throughout this assignment, we had to take notice of these camera's settings, shutter speed, f-stop, and iso. Every time we took a picture we had to continually change the settings based on the lighting and how we wanted the motion to be captured. we also were fortunate enough to be provided tripods for a better stable and secure platform. The tripod reduced any shakiness that our hands will cause.




This image is an example of a Blur To Show Image. In this image, we were challenged to show the movement of the image within one shot. In this shot the main focal point is still in focus; the hand while the background is blurred and lit up with a tungsten light mimicking the movement of the photo. This shot was very tricky to shoot, I myself wasn't comfortable with this kind of shots. The setting of this shot varied on what type of blur of the movement you want to show. For a sharper image, the aperture of the shot should be a wider hole (higher f-stop number). Limiting the amount of light being let in causing it to blur the background while still in focus with the subject. In this photo, a slow shutter speed was also essential to get this type of result.





This imaged is an example of a Stop Motion image. This image was really exciting and fun for me, we were given a large range of options to capture this image. This kind of image capture a moment of time when the ball midair seemed to be floating after being thrown up. I was more comfortable with this type of image, for I learned and shot similar photos like these from shooting sports recently. For this picture, it was necessary to change your camera's setting to shooting multiple frames continuously to capture images similar to this. It was also necessary that you have a fast shutter speed.



This picture of my lovely friend Maegan playing with a hula hoop and is an example of an Exaggerated Movement. This type of image portrayed expressions through actions made by the subject. Examples of Exaggerated Movement can be expressed and shown in many different ways. The actions in the photo set the feeling an ambiance of the image. This image was easier to shoot than the other ones. We did not have to as much change the settings regularly. Although this image needed the camera to be set to shoot multiple frames to capture moments like this.

This project allowed us to capture motion. There are four types of motion photgraphs. There is Panning, Stopping Motion, Exaggerated Movement, and Blur To Show Motion. We got to worked together in groups and we experimented with the camera and see if we can capture motion by ourselves. Some of the people got to play with the plastic rhythm sticks, and when they are bouncing off a table, it creates a cool motion photo. We also go to play with balls and try to capture them in the camera in the span of 5 seconds, which was difficult.

For this assignment, our purpose was to capture motion. Motion is a technique we use and can control to show the effects of the picture showing blur. Using high speed or burst is a good idea when taking motion because it will take more than one shot of the figure until there is a good one. Motion pictures take more than one shot because not all of them are perfect and it is hard to perfectly time the picture on when to take it. Using a high shutter speed and ISO may help in some situations as well. Our main goals for this assignment was to capture motion through panning, exaggerated movement, and blurring. The photo above is an example of panning. We had our friend Khoa run around Ryan and Kyle while the camera followed the direction Khoa was running in to show his movement.




This photo shows a good example of exaggerated movement and panning. The background is blurred out and is focused on Kyle attempting to do a layup. The point is to have the main subject sharp and standing out while everything else was blurred. Using a lower shutter speed will help because the lower it is, the better it can capture fast objects like a racing car. This was also an exaggerated movement because it captured Kyle's emotions while going for the layup. His whole body was propelled forward in a fast and aggressive motion which is exaggerated. The look on his face also shows some emotions on being determined to make the layup in as he jumped high to the net.



This was a blur to show photo of Chris dunking on a basketball net. In the gym, we used a yellow volleyball for dunking because it stood out sharp and brightly. The rim and net were clear while Chris was blurred out. Using a slower shutter speed may help because it allows extra time for the camera to visualize and capture the movement.

This assignment allowed us to take pictures of motion, not just one but different kinds of motion. we used the camera to showcase movement in out pictures. We shot all our photos in manual settings and changed the ISO, Shutter speed, and aperture depending on what pictures we wanted. There are plenty, different kind of technique to show motion, panning, stop motion, exaggerated motion, and blur to show motion. depending on what kind of motion you wanna try you would need different settings for each technique. For example, blur to show motion, you will want to focus on one thing and take a picture while other things are moving.

This assignment allowed me to capture different types of motion like panning, stop motion, exaggerated motion and blurred motion. Each of these different types of movement were all particular to the motion of your your subject and your camera settings.









To pan you pick a moving subject and follow their movement while rapidly taking photos. your shutter speed should be .... and your





In stop motion photos your goal is take motion and stop it. You will end up with one or multiple subjects frozen in mid-movement. In the photo above, you see my friend Christine, tossing multiple items at me. these objects were seemingly "frozen in time"





in exaggerated motion photos you want your subject in motion where you can see them or a part of them going through motion. Their body should be "altered" or placed seemingly more than what is normally possible in one frame. In the photo above you can see me behind my friend Christine moving my arms. in exaggerated motion.





In blurred motion shots like the one above, there is blurred motion to show movement. In the scene behind my friend, Jam, you can see students playing a game of tchoukball. Since they are running in the gym, their motion is blurred.

One of the ways to showcase movement in your photos is by having your subject or object in your photo blurred. To accomplish the type of picture you must have a lower shutter speed, it is also ideal to use a tripod so that there isn't any unintentional blur in your image. In this image we have "Waldo" opening and closing the locker to show movement in the door and arm.  The challenging part of this photo was getting the timing right and finding the shutter speed that gave us the best picture we could get.




Another way I showcased movement in this assignment was with panning. This technique has your subject sharp in focus while the background is blurred. Like the first technique, when trying to capture this type of photo you will need to use a lower shutter speed. However, you do not need a tripod for this type of picture, instead you will be panning your camera along with the path of your subject. Panning was probably the most difficult for me and it took awhile to achieve but learning to get this type of shot really enhanced my photography skills. The challenge in taking this type of photography is moving the camera along the same path, at the same speed as the subject of the photo. This photo took a lot longer to get and there was a lot of trial and error but we eventually ended up with a few nice shots.




Stop action is another great way to show movement in your photos. This technique is when you have everything in your photo completely in focus. To achieve this type of photograph you will need to use a faster shutter speed. The faster the shutter speed, the more frozen and crisply-defined your subject will be, which is what you want when taking stop action photos. When taking stop motion pictures it is ideal to have your subject exaggerate their movement or to have some element in your photo capturing the movement like a trail of snow or a splash of water. In this photo we have Yana hula hooping, we set our shutter speed to 1/500 and used flash to capture this photo. This technique was quite easy once we figured out how to manipulate our camera settings. 

When showing movement in photographs you can have your subject exaggerate their movement to more enhance your picture. In this picture Yana is exaggerating her dance moves to show movement in the photo. When taking this type of photography you want your audience to be able to feel the movement through the screen. This technique was probably the easiest to achieve because I was familiar with this technique from taking pictures at games.

This assignment we got to capture motion in different ways and learn how to capture motion with different settings.We should motion with panning, capturing exaggerated movements, stopping motion, and blur to show motion.

This in my opinion would be an easier shot to get then some of the others do to the basic settings  available it is optimal to shoot at a high ISO we found it worked best.




This photo was Chris, running with a basketball to make a lay up, it was a panning shot, as the approached and started moving the photographer held his shoot button, and followed the model.
This allow the figure to be in complete focus while having a blurred background showing a running movement. To create this, we found that the shutter speed worked best just below the middle point and the others settings kept lower to reduce the amount of light given.

The last photo, as you can see is me crazily whipping hula hoops, this is an exaggerated motion the model over does an action to show immense blur and motion I grabbed 4 hula hoops each with different colour and twirled them wildly in my hands. The camera does not much have affect on this as comparison to panning, but the model is the key aspect he/she should create an action with something that may stand out and do it to the point that it looks weird. The suitable  settings for this would be a high ISO,a higher f-stop, and a higher shutter speed.

My Favorite Motion Photo 

Something I learned when panning is that the subject and the camera must be moving in coordination or moving at speed where its not too fast or not too slow. I also learned that using slow shutter speeds is not very good for panning as the subject would be blurry and in panning, you want to keep the subject as sharp as you can and the background blurry. When trying to pan, a good shutter speed for slow moving subjects would be around 1/60 but for fast moving subjects, the shutter speed would have to be around 1/125. While taking continuous shots, you should also have a swift left to right or right to left movement. There are other ways you can move the camera but those are those most common movements.

 Exaggerated motion and stopping motion:
These are my favorite ones because they are very alike and the camera settings needed for these pictures are not very hard to adjust and find out. For stopping motion I had to play around with a lot of shutter speeds but I found out that fast shutter speeds such as 1/250 really capture the motion and make the picture look very sharp and crisp. You can also add a flash to make the picture look sharper. It really depends on the how fast the action you are doing is.That is when you have to adjust the shutter speed to that speed of action.




The biggest thing I learned about capturing blur in motion is that you need to slow down your shutter speed. The reason for movement blur is simply that the amount of time that the shutter of a camera is open is long enough to allow your camera's image sensor to see the movement of your subject. So basically, to capture movement blur in an image, you need to select a longer shutter speed.
