Challenge (Thursday, 2/20/14 - Saturday, 2/22/14) Freezing the Action
Feb 20, 2014 05:05:45 #
Good Morning! Welcome to 'Freezing the Action,' one of my favorite topics! When researching the topic, it didn't take long to discover that there are many differing opinions among professional photographers as to what the term, 'freezing he action' really means. For most photographers, it means capturing the motion of a subject with sharpness and no blur. For others, it means capturing the motion of the subject with sharpness and no blur, but also capturing the velocity of the movement in the background. Here are the links for two good articles demonstrating each technique:
Stopping the action with a fast shutter speed - your photo is captured, with subject sharp, and no blur in the picture.

Freezing the action in which your subject is sharp while still showing the velocity of movement. This can be obtained by physically following/moving the subject with your camera after you have locked the subject into focus.

Many of you are already masters at freezing the action. I can't wait to see your examples!

I can't begin to describe the action that was captured in this photo - Lol!

I couldn't find my original, in which the subject is very sharp. This photo was pulled off my Facebook account and a good bit of clarity is lost in the transfer. This is an example of 'panning,' a topic Pat and I hosted last year.

Yep, we Georgian's have to seize the moment on the rare occasion of snow. Beach tube makes a pretty awesome sled!

I just finished up by posting the link. I went to sleep last night with my iPad in my lap while attempting to start the challenge and woke up at 4:30 A.M. this morning in a panic. Lol!

That is not the first time it has happened to someone. I have fallen asleep in the middle of something.

My apologies if this ends up in the wrong place.... motocross, mama and baby dolphins out for a swim were both shot with my D7100 using the 70-300mm, while the heron was shot with the D7100 using the 150-500mm.

Suejay, such exciting action. To see these creatures in a true natural habitat must have been incredible. Thank you for sharing!
