Photographing Motion By Yana
For this GCT project, we were given an assignment to capture motion in our pictures. Playing with the settings were very important in this assignment. There were many types of motions we played around with, such as panning, stopping motion, exaggerated movement and blur to show motion. We used many bright colorful objects which added life to our photos.
In this photo my friend Haya is stopped in motion while she is hula hooping. This type of photo is called stop motion. Her hoops in this picture are frozen in place. This technique is used by freezing the motion and capturing it. When you take this type of photo, it is better to use a faster shutter speed so that everything will be in focus. The camera was set to burst or continuous shooting so we could take a lot of pictures and hopefully get one picture that we liked.
This type of photo is a blur to show motion. In this photo we have my friend Kiana, standing still with scarfs showing movement. This technique is used to show motion in action.When taking this type of photo, we found it best to use a slower shutter speed one.Some tips on taking this type of motion are the model should be still while the object makes it's motion.
This technique is called panning. It is when you capture a photo when the model is clear and the background shows the movement. This photo captures Kiana riding a bike. The camera follows (pans)the bike moving to. I suggest that your camera should be steady while panning.
This is an exaggerated movement. You don't usually see people posing like this in photos. An exaggerated picture is when your model/subject is posing dramatically.
