My Four Best Motion Photos

My Best Panning Shot:


I took this photo inside of school, and had the camera follow Maggie as she was running down the hall. The goal of this photo was to make it look like she was running fast. This is my best attempt at a panning shot because I feel as though it gives the entire aspect of a motion shot and effect that the subject is moving, not just posing still in one place. To capture my idea, I set my shutter speed on the camera to 1/20 seconds, and then the aperture accordingly.

My Best Freeze Action Shot:


This was photo was taken at Council Crest Park, while my brother was jumping off of a stone ledge. In order to get this photo, I had to set my shutter speed to a very high setting of 1/560 seconds. I took this photo from the back because I thought it gave more emphasis and interest to the subject. I had multiple freeze action shots, but I thought this was the best because it was more interesting, and dramatic comparatively to the others. 

My Best Slow Motion Shot: 


In this photograph I set my shutter speed to two seconds, and had my brother dance in front of the camera. This was my best portrayal of a slow motion picture because it showed his movements, whether he was moving his body from left or right, or his arms in different directions. My other photos showed movement, but not as distinct as this one.

My Best Total Motion/Effective Camera Shake Shot:


This photo was taken at Washington Park, while the subject, Arielle, sat on a picnic table. To capture this shot I brought my shutter speed to a slow speed of 1/8 seconds. While pressing down on the button to take my picture, I shook my camera back and forth. I believe that this is my strongest total motion photo because it shows more than just a couple of colors, like my other ones. Here, in this photo you can see that the camera shake was effective and on purpose, and that it had the best outcome in the end.

Olivier Meriel Photography




These three photos were taken by a french photographer, Olivier Meriel, in multiple places. His photos emphasize on the light of a picture, and shoe the light and dark sides. He uses shadows and brightness to make his photos interesting.
