Create 20 photos that freeze motion and 20 that blur motion.

Frozen motion:

Working outside in the day in good light, freeze the motion of athletes and bike riders, skate boarders, dancers, jumping dogs, a moving subway car. Try at least two different types of subjects ie soccer players and bikers, kids on swings and dancers. Capture the decisive moment. The soccer player when their leg is fully stretched out in a kick, a bike rider doing a wheelie. Don’t be shy. Fill your frame with the action.

If you are working outside in bright light with your cameraphone, it will select a fast shutter speed. If you are working with a camera, use a fast shutter speed.

Blurred Motion:

Each shot MUST have something sharp and something blurry.

For blurred motion you must find a way to secure the camera. If you don’t have a tripod and are working with a camera, rest it on a surface and use the camera’s timer.

If using a cameraphone, you will need to use an app. I recommend slow shutter.

You will still need to secure the camera otherwise the whole image will be blurry.

If you are working with a camera phone, you can make a tripod from a coffee cup or small box like a tea box.

Post 40 shots to an album on Flickr. Please don’t include all of the times you missed: shots out of focus, the back of receding bike riders, etc. Just your best work. Send your best two to the class group.
