September 22 :: Stopping Motion!

NO CELL PHONES!

(That means put them away!)

Expectations:

C: Voice Level 2 (only the people next to you can hear you and no shouting across the room)

H: Ask your team, elbow partner or raise hand

A: Work on the assignment

M: Stay in your assigned seat

P: Work till assignment is completed

S: Finishing your work

NOTE:

Get to know your camera!

How do we STOP MOTION!!

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Motion in Photography

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Motion photography is about showing movement. Adding a slight blur of the action to your shot helps tell a story. This storytelling element makes the images a little less static and unexpected. Images with movement tend to be eye-catching; they drag the viewer into the frame and force the eye to glide along with the moving elements.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice taking high speed photos and show how you understand the Exposure Triangle!

Media Badges!

They are YOUR responsibility!

Badges MUST be worn when at events and taking photos
Must be assigned event to be allowed pass/camera
Badge goes with camera...it MUST be returned with Camera!
$10 fee for missing or damaged badge! No camera checkout if fee is not paid!

STUDENTS DO NOT...

Do NOT remove a lens. If a lens change is needed please ask!

Freeze Action Shot

To freeze action and keep your moving subject(s) sharp you will need a fast shutter speed. The faster your subject is moving, the faster your shutter speed will need to be.

1/250th of a second is usually fast enough to freeze motion.

1/500th of a second is fast enough to freeze a moving athlete.

1/1000 of a second may be needed for even faster subjects, such as fast moving vehicles.

How do we understand Shutter Speeds?

< Slower shutter speed = MORE light Faster Shutter speed = LESS light>

In reality you never get to separate your shutter speed from your aperture. You are always going to use your shutter and you are always going to use an aperture. Period. They’re partners. They work together quite nicely.

< Slower shutter speed = MORE light Faster Shutter speed = LESS light>

< Larger Aperture (small number) = MORE light Smaller Aperture = LESS light>

Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO...

These three camera and lens controls work together to regulate the amount of light that makes it to the light-sensitive surface (aperture and shutter speed) and the sensitivity of that surface (film or digital ISO).

Let's say we are taking a high intense sport shot or a bird in flight and we want to stop the motion

Typically, anything above shutter speeds of 1/250 will STOP motion.

So...if we are go from a shutter speed of 1/60 to shutter speed of 1/250 we need to move our F stop 2 spots from f5.6 to f2.8 (see image above)

Aperture, Shutter, and ISO working together!

Stopping motion and Sports Photography!

Start by setting your ISO at 100. This is your base ISO.

Widen your Aperture (move to the left as far as it will go 2.8).

To stop motion, you need a FAST shutter speed. Move the slider to the right to 1/4000 SEC.

But the exposure meter needs to be in the center right? Adjust the ISO until the meter is in the center! (6400)

Try to FREEZE the Fan!

Typically we want to use the LOWEST ISO possible! But if the effect we want (like stopping motion) ends up making the photo under exposed (dark) we need to adjust/increase the ISO. If the effect makes the image too bright, decrease the ISO... TRY IT!
