Photographing Motion By Frans

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.


This is a Blur To Show Motion Picture. My hand is in focus but the stick is blurred. I got this effect by twirling the stick between my hands. The key factor to getting this type of shot is to use a slower shutter speed. This allows the camera to capture the movement.
This is an Exaggerated Movement Shot. I asked my brother to pretend like he was shoveling when taking the picture. You can get an exaggerated shot by posing, or maybe changing your expression. It was very cold outside but the photo was worth it.
This is a Stop Motion Shot. I invited myself to the washroom and took a photo of my brother brushing his teeth. To achieve this type of shot you must put your camera on burst mode to capture multiple shots. You may also want a high shutter speed along to capture all those pictures.
This is a Panning Shot. It was very difficult shot to take since you want to focus on your subject, but you also want to move at the same time as your subject. As you can see the picture is focusing on the boy that is running while the background is blurry. It will be easier if you had a tripod and you may want to turn on your flash to allow your camera to focus on the subject.
