Learning Log #5 – Action/Motion Portraits

For the first photo of my action shot, my teammate’s arms and legs were spread out as he jumped as if he was making a basketball shot. My shutter was high in order to freeze the model in the frame. In the second photo, I used motion blur by lowering my shutter speed to 1/10th of a second to capture the ghost like effect. This assignment challenged us to think out of the box and use our own body movements instead of just standing still and taking a portrait.
