CAPTURING ACTION AND MOTION.

Capturing action and motion is an important step to photography. This can be because it makes the photo look better and it captures the eye into view. There are a lot of ways to capture these types of actions and motions. Firstly, you need to slow down the shutter speed. This can be important because you get motion blur when your shutter speed is long, whereas you freeze the action when your shutter speed is short. It needs to work for a period of time as if it’s too fast you’re not going to capture much movement. 

To get motion in your images, the most important roles is to have your subject move and have your camera move. To have a beautiful blurry look in your photo will impact the whole shot. Some things that can be important to get a good shot would be to use a small aperture. This is important because the narrower the aperture, the less light that will hit the camera sensor. Adjusting the aperture won’t just affect your photos exposure but also affects the depth of field. 

Another way to have a better shot is to decrease your ISO. ISO impacts the sensitivity of you digital camera sensor to light. You should also try a neutral density filter. It’s a piece of glass that blocks light from passing through your lenses. These can all be important. Though, slow sync flash and panning can help by a lot. Slow sync flash lets you capture a relatively sharp subject while creating a moving, blurry background, and its great way to create in-your-face shots. Panning can simply follow a moving subject with your camera. The subject will generally come out nice and sharp. While the background stretches and blurs.
