Shutter Speed / Capturing Motion (Small Groups)

Shutter Speed / Capturing Motion (Small Groups)

1) Take photos that capture ACTION SHARP. Try to “capture the moment”.  Shoot at the shutter priority mode and auto focus. Make sure your shutter speed is above 125th of a second. ISO 400. Take several photos to see the image captured in motion.

2) Take photos trying to capture MOTION BLUR. Try to “capture the moment”.  Shoot at the shutter priority mode and auto focus AI SERVO mode. Make sure your shutter speed is 60th or below for more blur. Use a tripod to make sure stationary objects are not blurred. Take several photos to see the image blurred showing it's range of motion.

Aperture / Depth of Field (Small Groups)
