Chickerdoodle13's Photography Classroom (*New Assignment* Pg6 Post54)

[Nicola]

Okay 2nd assignment.. Auto white balance ISO 800 Center weighted light metering. Macro setting is on.

Blurred.. really easy to get with these fast fish! >.< Zooming everywhere

36 photo's later.. non blurred.

im confused on the assignment

 

[Nicola]

from what i could gather.. we have to take pics of something that is in moving in action, get a nice clear shot of it, and a blurry one (blurry part is easy!) and post the 2 pics

oooohhhh!OKAY

I'm working on mine still, haven't forgotten, it's just been very busy.

this is of the clear one

this is of the blurry one

Just to clarify on this assignment: (Sorry, I have been busy at home this weekend!)

What I really want is you guys to practice changing shutter speed to freeze action and then to get motion blur. So for one picture you should use a very fast shutter speed (Anything over 1/100 s will typically freeze motion) and then I would like you to soften the motion using a shutter speed under 1/100 s. This doesn't have anything to do with focus, but with the speed of your shutter. Being able to control this will allow you to soften motion, such as the movement of water in a stream, or to freeze action like a race car or a running horse. Don't go for blurry because you are not playing with focus. Your picture should be in focus, but what I really want you to see is how shutter speeds affect your photos. So in short, use shutter priority and take one photo with a fast shutter speed, and one with a slow shutter speed. If you don't have this setting on your camera, then just practice taking action shots.

Here is a google link showing some examples of motion blur with a slow shutter speed.

I can elaborate more if you'd like after I finish making dinner. I think I will extend the due date for this one because I haven't had time to finish a new lesson yet. I will also try to find some more examples!

I'm hoping to get mine done either today or tomorrow.

I done all i could with my camera, since i cannot manually change the shutter speed, it automatically adjusts it self.

I have been working on the assignment, and have come to a conclusion, the camera is a better photographer then me! And I really like the little mindless green setting!!

Here they are.

This is the one I was most happy with, this is panning the camera as Sasha is running the camera is in shutter priority w/ a shutter speed of 1/30 and f 22, the problem was in shutter priority it would crank the iso up to 1600 so almost all the pics were very grainy and w/o detail.

another panning shot, okay, but less successful I think then the first one. Same settings as the previous

This one has the same problem as the others to high an iso, but in shutter priority it sets the iso on it's own as far as I can tell. I did try to take the pics in total manual control, but need to get better w/ my camera setting to do that.

If the iso had been a reasonable level this would have shown Bug's body in focus, but legs w/ blur motion. Which would have been cool, need to figure out an easy way to control shutter w/ o the camera selecting high iso's.
