Panning

One person walking





When i took this picture i was by the library. One problem i had prior to getting this shot was the sun washing out the whole picture so i moved into the shade. This shot was the best representation of the skill because you can tell she's walking and you can see movement without it being blurry. I tried taking the picture in the sun and it was too bright because i had to set the shutter speed lower. This picture could be a bit less blurry.










Vehicle Moving

When i took this picture i was out on the sidewalk in front of school. One problem i had prior to taking this shot was the car not being clear enough. This shot was the best representation because the car was very clear and the background had a lot of blur. It was a good contrast. I tried going slower while panning and it turned out just blurring the whole picture. This picture could be more zoomed in.

One person running

when i took this picture i was by the library. A problem i had was not panning fast enough and making her really blurry. This shot was the best representation because you can clearly see her and can tell she's running. I tried a higher shutter speed and it didnt capture her clear enough. The background is really washed out.

Vehicle moving #2


When i took this picture i was out in front of school by the street.
One problem i had prior to this shot was not enough blur in the background and not showing movement. This shot was the best representation because its perfectly zoomed in and clear and the background is blurred out, showing motion. I tried setting the shutter speed lower and it blurred everything.The whole picture is really white, it could be darker.

Shutter Speed Exercises


Motion Blur Action

When i took this picture i was on the walkway on the side of school by the street. The problems i had taking this picture were the lighting and getting a car centered in the frame. This shot was the best representation of Motion Blur Action i think because the car is perfectly centered in the frame and just the moving object is blurred and the lighting turned out best in this photo. I tried a lower shutter speed but it whited out the picture. The lighting could've been better.



Stop Action Running


When i took this picture i was by the gym. The problems i had with taking this picture was trying to get the right shutter speed so it wasnt blurry. I feel like this shot was the best representation of stop action running because the pictures clearly shows that she is running and the picture stopped her in mid motion. The stopping of the motion could've been better cause she's a little blurry in the picture.








Stop Action Dropping/Falling Items


I took this picture by the gym facing the umbrellas. The problem i had with this picture was catching the leaves in air and making them look like they were falling. This shot was the best representation of stop action falling items because its easy to tell that the leaves are falling in mid air. The leaves could've been less blurry, thats what i had most trouble with.







Motion Blur Running


I took  this picture in the same spot, by the gym. The problem i had with this picture is getting the background to not wash out and be too bright but also capture her running in a blur. This shot was the best representation i believe because the background isn't washed out and she's centered in the frame and also the blur shows perfect motion. One problem, the background could've  been less bright.





Stop Action Jumping


I took this picture by the gym as well . I didn't have really any trouble with this picture. The first time i took it she wasn't in the air yet and then i took this one and it was perfect. This picture was the best representation because you can see the movement, her scarf waving around and a huge gap between her and the ground showing motion. I can't really find a problem with this picture. I think it was my best because all the color is in tact and there are no awkward shadows or washed out background.
