Learning Log#5-Action/Motion Portraits

For todays shoot it was difficult getting the settings down quick enough because I kept missing my shot and having to keep redoing it. Today I learned the difference between frozen motion and semi motion. With the shot of Kendra, I managed to blur the background and focus on her with her hair and hands moving. With Ebony I had to make sure I timed it right to capture her jumping and also capture a good facial expression. These are my two best shots from today’s shoot.

    The background behind Kendra is blurry because of a shallow depth of field, not motion blur. You’d need a slower shutter speed and her moving quicker to get the effect. The shot of Ebony is great!
