Motion Capture and Lightpainting - Lesson 29 Yoors Photography Course
Dynamics in your photos
An athlete splash sharp in the photo, or show the speed of an athlete? Capture or draw the movement in a waterfall with light? In this lesson of the Yoors Photography Course I give a lot of explanations. You're mostly dealing with shutter speed! It's good to take in that lesson as well. At the bottom of this blog is the link to that lesson.
Shutter shutter speed
Motion, dynamics in the photo, it's all about shutter speed! Shooting at the automatic mode is really not the case. The P mode and scene selection really use too small range within shutter speed capabilities. So we really put the camera on S or TV mode, Shutter time preference. The advantage of this is that the camera then adjusts the ISO value and aperture to get the right exposure.
We want to be able to deliberately choose to open the shutter for a very short, or very long time, in order to make a very conscious choice of how we want to capture the movement.
Not unlimited
Of course, you can't stretch your shutter speed in all circumstances (above 1.5 sec). On a sunny day, your photo will be overexposed if the camera can't close the aperture further and the ISO can't turn down further. You can work here with a grey-filter, preferably an adjustable one, to catch light away. To some extent, you could also compensate by using the on-camera exposure compensation.
