For this project we had to take picture of objects (people) in motion. The project had to involve a variety of people doing different actions. To capture good pictures we had to set the ISO on 800 so the light setting would look natural. We also had to set the shutter speed on 1/800 because the objects tended to move very fast. 1/800 means that the shutter of the camera would only stay open for 1/800 of a second. This would also take clearer images of the objects in motion. We also used our previous knowledge of Rule of Thirds and different perspectives. We sometimes had to lay on the ground to take a better looking picture. I would recommend, if you are trying to take “action” photos, to stand very close to the object in motion. The camera would focus better if it was closer. Also you should take pictures outside for better light quality. If I would photograph a specific sport, I would take pictures of basketball games. Basketball games involve a lot of movement and interaction between players. Also, dunking pictures look great. 2 of my favorite pictures are shown below. The rest can be found here.
