Action Photography: Part 1

Frozen Action (Vertical)

Aperture: f / 4.0

Shutter Speed: 1/200

ISO: 400

This is my "Late to Class" picture. I used flash, so that's why I don't have a super high shutter speed. I really like how much the word "LATE" stands out on the yellow pass. I also think that the papers flying around behind Allie really add to the theme, as well as the flustered look on her face. If I could change something about this picture, I would try and move a little bit to the left, because the white papers kind of blend into the white wall and window in the background. I think it would have been nicer if the papers were against the brick wall. Other than that I'm happy with how this picture turned out!

 Pan Shot

Aperture: f / 20.0

Shutter Speed: 1/25

ISO: 800

This is a pan shot of my mom's car. I had my mom drive back and forth in an empty parking lot until I got a good shot, and it was really funny! I like how blurred I was able to get the background, with the car staying mostly sharp. There is a little blur in the tires and back bumper,  but nothing extremely distracting that takes away from the image. If a could change anything about this picture, I would try and find a less busy background, and maybe get the car a little cleaner before I took pictures of it! Other than that, I like how this shot came out.

 Frozen Action (Horizontal)

Aperture: f / 5.3

Shutter Speed: 1/1000

ISO: 1600

I took this picture at my grandparents house on Saturday. It was really windy out, and they're flag was blowing around a lot, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a frozen action shot. I like how the tattered ends of the flags are all in different directions, and also how much the flag is blowing. If I could change something about this image, I would move to the right a little bit, so the background was just the blue sky, and not the distracting tree branches. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how this image came out.
