Notes- Creative Shooting

BACKGROUND

• photo reps avg light over a timeframe <-duration=shutter speed
• fast shutter speed = high ISO & low f#
• slow shutter speed = low ISO speed & high f#

CONVEYING MOTION

• when blurring a picture, there are 3 traits that need to be taken into account
• Speed- subjects moving faster will appear more blurred
• Direction of Motion- subjs moving towards or away from cam aren't as blurry as those moving side to side
• Magnification- subj will appear more blurred if they occupy greater fraction of your img frame
• moving water: shutter speed can make waterfalls appears silky or surreal
• portrait and moving train: use slow shutter speed to emph stationary subject amongst movement

MOVING WITH THE SUBJECT&PANNING

• a successful panning shot requires a shutter speed which is just slow enough to cause background to streak, but fast enough that subh still appears sharp

FREEZING FAST ACTION& HIGH-SPEED MOTION

• key to capturing fast-moving subj: 'learn to anticipate when you subj will be in the desired position'
• pre-focusing on or near your expected subject location can therefore greatly reduce shutter lag

ZOOMING BLUR

 try zooming during part of exposure to lessen effect->causes subj to have incr radial blur
