Catch the Action

                  This project was very mesmerizing and simple at the same time. Our goal was to take 8 to 10 pictures of people and/or objects in motion. I had a lot of fun taking pictures of my friend moving around and of my sister in the spooky, foggy woods of Sugarloaf Mountain. To take pictures of them in the middle of their action, I set my camera to manual. I also set the ISO to 100 (400 in the mountains) to get the perfect lighting and the shutter speed to 1/640 to get the clearest image outcome. If you’re trying to do the same, I advise pressing the push-button right when the object/person is at its highest point (when jumping, in mid air, etc.) If the action is running/moving across (not in mid air), then try to take a picture by following the rule of thirds (see post for more information). In the future, I hope to take pictures of people in action during sports and other activities.                                                                                                      -Marie Valouiski
