Motion

In this project you are tasked to capture motion.

This can take the form of freezing motion, blurring motion, or panning motion.

The idea is to somehow depict the sense of movement within a single image while continuing to maintain the character of the event or action.

In other words, make sure the motion is appropriate to show the nature of the event/action, such as direction of movement in relation to the camera.

Try using your sport mode



or Shutter Priority


In Manual or Shutter Priority Modes:

Remember faster shutter speeds mean freezing motion, but they mean less light requiring some other setting to allow more light into the camera, usually aperture and iso.

Turn on Vibration Reduction (Image Stabilization) if you have it.

Turn on continuous shooting and any type of Auto Focus Servo if desired.



Remember that direction of travel in relation to the camera is the most important factor to consider when blur is desired.

When the subject and the camera move at the same rate of travel and in the same direction, the subject will look focused and the background will appear to be moving (blurred). This is called dragging the shutter and requires a slightly slower shutter speed.

Shoot many images, edit and choose 5 to turn in.
