Photographing Motion by Haya
The grade 9 GCT class was assigned to take pictures in motion. We were given time to experiment and play around with the settings of the camera during class. We took turns taking pictures in groups using colorful items to shoot in motion. Capturing motion wasn't easy and there are many different types of motion to capture like, panning, exaggerated motion, stop motion, or blurring the background to show motion.
In this photo my friend Kiana is captured in motion while hula-hooping with four hula hoops. This type of photo is called stop motion. Stop motion is exactly like what it's called, a photo where you have stopped motion. For this photo our camera was put on burst or continuous shooting. When our camera was put on burst we looked through the photos to find one great picture with other unwanted ones.
This photo is featuring Waldo coming out of a locker. This type of photo is called blurred to show motion. For this picture we changed the setting of the camera to a slower shutter speed. This was one of the easier ways to caption motion. In this photo we also used a tripod to keep the camera from moving and adding any extra movement.
This photo captures my friend Kiana riding a bike in the snow. In this photo the subject is in focus but the background is not. This type of photo is called panning. Panning was one of the more difficult photos we had to capture because we had to do it without a tripod. It shows a sense of speed the subject is going.
This photo it captures my friend Yana flipping her hair. This type of photo is called exaggerated motion. In exaggerated photos, the subject is caught in an unusual or awkward position exaggerating the actions she is doing. To do this you would need a slower shutter speed.
