The photography home of the Lakelands Park Falcons.
This project was different from the other ones as instead of taking a picture of a still object, I took a picture of things in motion. To capture these fast moving pictures I used the burst mode on my phone. To take action photos you need to find a photo of an object in motion, where you can’t recreate it in a pose. If I could choose a subject to take a picture of it would be swimming because that is a big part of my life and I do it every day.
In this project, we took pictures of objects and people moving. For example, I took pictures of people jumping. For this project, I used burst mode on my phone. This let me take multiple photos at a time. A tip that I have for taking action photos is to take them outside, so the photos aren’t blurry. If I could photograph any sport, I would photograph swimming because the water moving would look really cool.

In this project we had to take photos of objects and people in motion and one photo of an action stack just like the one above. When I took the photos I held down the camera button in order to get the whole shot. I looked for the best photo in the clutch and then used that photo. I think people trying to take these photos should learn to find good angles for the photo so you aren’t taking it from a straight angle. Also you should use an actual camera because they are better quality then a phone. I think I would want to take action shots of a soccer game. The perfect shot of that would to get the ball in the air or a person taking a throw-in.
In this project we had to get a picture of people and objects in motion. I used my phone with normal settings, it caught most of the pictures well. My tip is take the picture when it’s in the air to show motion. I would photograph soccer because it’s my favorite sport.
In this project, we had to take pictures of things in action. To take the photos, I held down the camera button which took a burst. This allowed me to get the best pictures out of all of the ones I took. In order to capture good images, I had to set up the main subject in good lighting and take multiple photos. I would recommend taking a burst because bursts allow you to see multiple photos of the same action and one of them could be the shot you are looking for versus trying to take one photo and get the timing right. Another thing I would recommend is patience. Patience is key in order to get the best shot of the action. If I were to take photos of an action, I would do it of a dog running.
in this assignment, we were told to take a picture of someone while in action. The picture could not look like it could be framed and it could not be blurry. It was hard for me to capture the right moment and for it to not be blurry at the same time. it was easy for me to do the stacking of the photos, for me it didn’t take that long for me to understand how to do everything in Photoshop. For me, it helped to put the camera in a setting where it could take photos at a high speed. this helped capture the moment and also have your subject not be blurry. The setting is called sports mode which can be found in almost all cameras. If you are trying to take action photos and your subject is jumping, it is best to put your camera/ device on the ground so that it looks like your subject is jumping much higher than they actually are. I would love to take pictures of people doing gymnastics or skateboarding, i feel like the picture would end up very unique and interesting.
For this project we had to capture a moment where there was action and we couldn’t pose for that specific action. I made sure to set up my camera in a position that is a little bit unique and will give an interesting perspective on the action. One tip is to make sure you don’t move your camera because it will really mess up the quality of the image in the end. If I would photograph any action I would photograph someone skydiving because it seems like such a surreal moment.

In this project, we experimented with taking action pictures in different formats. For example, the photo shown below is a stacked photo, while the rest of mine in my google drive are single photos. In order to take a stacked photo, I took bursts to fully capture the individual actions that have to occur for the bigger action to take place. While taking action photos, it is very important that you know exactly what you want in your pictures. I think dance would be a great sport to photograph.

For this project we had to take pictures of something being done that could not be posed for. We had to take the picture while the person or thing was moving or performing their action. In the picture above I took a picture of Lizzie kicking the soccer ball. I used the the burst feature on my phone to make sure the picture wasn’t blurry and Lizzie and the soccer ball were in focus. For other people trying to take action pictures I would recommend to stay focused and be persistent with taking the best picture you can. Also using “burst” on my phone was helpful to get the best picture because you get many pictures to choose from. If I could photograph any sport, I would photograph dance because I could get pictures of people doing different jumps in mid-air. I would also photograph dancers because I could go to different ballets and performances and take pictures of the dancers during the performances to get different action shots of them.

In this project you needed someone moving and you needed to take many pictures. At the end you needed to put all different pictures into one. In the picture, Mr. Fitz took one of me jumping over the bench in a suit to make it look cool. If you want to take a cool picture like this, you need to stay still and let the person posing do all the movement. I would want to take a picture of someone kicking a soccer ball.
