Capturing Moving Subjects

1.) Shutter Speed. When the subject is moving and you want to take a shot of, say a basketball player getting the ball on a rebound, then you should opt for fast shutter speeds. ...

2.) Increasing The Aperture. Choose a low f-stop to open up the aperture and allow more light in. This will help you counter the low light you get from the fast shutter speed.
However, increasing the aperture may lessen the depth of field of your photograph. What does this mean? It means that aside from your subject, a lot of the other elements in your photograph might look out of focus. A high f-stop can help you get the entire scene in focus, but a lower one such as f2.8 may make it appear like the whole background is out of focus.

3.) Use A Flash: Using a flash with your motion shots is a good way to counter the low light conditions when using a faster shutter speed. It is extremely easy to correct dark photos by using your flash.

4.) Use A High ISO. Using a high ISO can help you increase the shutter speed and aperture of your camera without increasing the likelihood of getting blurry or dark photographs. However, using high ISOs can usually result in a grainy picture with a lot of digital noise.
The secret to getting a sharp focus on a moving subject is to increase the shutter speed and correct the dark photos by using flash, increasing the aperture or using a high ISO speed. But for a more dramatic shot that captures motion, you could also try panning.

5.) Panning. Imagine a photograph that shows the city lights with a trail of light from passing cars visible. To take this kind of shot, you hold your camera steady so that it could capture the lights from the city. As a car passes through, you camera will capture it as a trail of light.
Panning works in reverse. Instead of holding your camera, you move — pan — it to follow the moving car. As a result, the car is captured in focus while the rest of the city goes behind it in a blur.
Admittedly, this is easier said than done. You would probably have more success if you have a slow moving subject, such as a running dog or a walking baby.

Or You can Show Movement by reducing your Shutter Speed such as in those gorgeous Smooth flowing water images you see..

All of the above information Most of you are already familiar with, But some that stop by might not be so I'm including it..

So let's see your Moving Subjects, Frozen motion, or otherwise..

Here are some examples.

Great start, Lesley, and thank you for hosting yet again!

Your rodeo shots are awesome, and I really like the moving ride images.



Most of my images that "Capture a Moving Subject" have been posted
before, so I hope you'll forgive me. There are also some that I will be
posting again in an upcoming topic...(I need to get out more.)

Great set!
(Does that new aquarium have moving subjects yet, for some new material to photo? ...or, maybe try to start some spider races?

Thanks, Dustie...glad you enjoyed the set.

The new aquarium does have a couple of fish in it, but they're really tiny,
and as far as spider races are concerned, it's hard taking pictures of them
when they're running away from me when I'm trying to squish them....

Hee, hee! You may end up building an extreme duty, squish-proof, shoe accessory camera mount for spider captures.
