There are several ways to express motion in your photos—ranging from freezing the motion with a very fast shutter speed to panning along with your subject using a slower shutter speed.

Freezing Action

In order to give an image a stop-action look, you’ll either need to use your camera’s sports/action mode (indicated by the running figure on the basic shooting mode dial), or your shutter-priority mode to set a fast shutter speed. In this mode, denoted by the Tv (time value) or S (shutter) mode on your shooting dial, you set the desired shutter speed and your camera will automatically set the aperture to get the best exposure. By using a shutter speed of at least 1/500—and especially at 1/1000 to 1/5000 second—you can freeze nearly all activities, including those that happen too quickly to be perceived by the human eye

Panning

This is another highly effective way of portraying a sense of motion when photographing a moving subject—you’ll follow the subject with your camera during an exposure. If this is done properly, you’ll get a relatively sharp subject against a very blurred background. The subject will rarely be entirely sharp, though, and some blurring of the subject can heighten the feeling of motion.  In order to get this effect, you’ll want to use your camera’s shutter priority mode and set it for a slow shutter speed. Settings of 1/15 or 1/30 second will enable you to handhold the camera during an exposure. If you’re using your camera’s basic shooting modes, you can often get a somewhat slower shutter speed with the landscape mode. Although it is designed to give you great depth of field when photographing landscapes, this mode will also utilize a somewhat slower shutter speed.

Motion Blur

One of the most exciting ways to portray movement in a photograph is to allow a moving object to become blurred. This approximates the way that our eyes perceive a fast-moving object. To record a moving subject as a blur, you must use your camera’s shutter priority mode to set a slow shutter speed, but the exact slowness depends on several factors, such as the speed of the subject. For example, a Ferris wheel in motion at dusk can be blurred at a shutter speed of at least 1/30 second. Also, a subject passing across your field of view blurs more quickly than one headed straight toward you.

all about me

ALL ABOUT ME

My collage represents everything i go by and live for,
O.C.D means Only Chase Dollars it basically a motto for getting money Glo Gang is one of my favorite rap groups TRAP NATION is a movement in music that supports upcoming rappers from different states the L.B n the right side is Long Beach which is where I'm from SAVAGE LIFE is the life i live did i choose to.......No it just happens Basketball is my life outside of the streets it's my passion been playing it since the age of two well thats when i first picked up a ball.

I enjoyed this project because i get to put basically me all in one picture. I learned out of this is that just live life and enjoy it as i get older i change more like in about ten years hell maybe even five most of the stuff I put together to make this collage i won't even be going by or living for well....Basketball will always be apart of me so will be OCD,& Long beach and that's probably it.

 I always and probably still will think nobody could understand me except me or my mom other than that  people will always wonder why i'm the way I am and all i can say is live the life i live and you'll be the same way

Digital Camera Modes

Automatic Modes

Automatic Mode: I suspect no one will need any introduction to this mode (as it seems most digital camera owners use it). Auto mode tells your camera to use it’s best judgement to select shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus and flash to take the best shot that it can

Portrait Mode:When you switch to portrait mode your camera will automatically select a large aperture (small number) which helps to keep your background out of focus (ie it sets a narrow depth of field – ensuring your subject is the only thing in focus and is therefore the centre of attention in the shot). Portrait mode works best when you’re photographing a single subject so get in close enough to your subject (either by zooming in or walking closer) so that your photographing the head and shoulders of them).

Macro Mode

Macro mode lets you move your closer into your subject to take a close up picture. It’s great for shooting flowers, insects or other small objects. Different digital cameras will have macro modes with different capabilities including different focussing distances (usually between 2-10cm for point and shoot cameras).

Landscape Mode

This mode is almost the exact opposite of portrait mode in that it sets the camera up with a small aperture (large number) to make sure as much of the scene you’re photographing will be in focus as possible (ie it give you a large depth of field). It’s therefore ideal for capturing shots of wide scenes, particularly those with points of interest at different distances from the camera. 

Sports Mode

Photographing moving objects is what sports mode (also called ‘action mode’ in some cameras) is designed for. It is ideal for photographing any moving objects including people playing sports, pets, cars, wildlife etc. Sports mode attempts to freeze the action by increasing the shutter speed.

Night Mode

This is a really fun mode to play around with and can create some wonderfully colorful and interesting shots. Night mode (a technique also called ‘slow shutter sync’) is for shooting in low light situations and sets your camera to use a longer shutter speed to help capture details of the background but it also fires off a flash to illuminate the foreground (and subject).

Movie Mode

This mode extends your digital camera from just capturing still images to capturing moving ones. Most new digital cameras these days come with a movie mode that records both video but also sound. The quality is generally not up to video camera standards but it’s a handy mode to have when you come across that perfect subject that just can’t be captured with a still image. 

Semi Automatic Modes

Aperture Priority Mode (A or AV)

This mode is really a semi-automatic (or semi-manual) mode where you choose the aperture and where your camera chooses the other settings (shutter speed, white balance, ISO etc) so as to ensure you have a well balanced exposure. Aperture priority mode is useful when you’re looking to control the depth of field in a shot (usually a stationary object where you don’t need to control shutter speed).
