Motion Assignment

For this assignment my goal was to capture moving objects.  The picture I chose is of the splash coming out f my pond after a rock was thrown into it.  the key to taking motion pictures is the shutter speed. if you want to freeze the action in time a faster shutter speed is needed, but if you want to be able to see the blurs of the movements you should use a slow shutter speed.  Another challenge is getting the correct exposure. By having a fast shutter speed you are reducing the amount of light allowed into the camera. Likewise, with a slow shutter speed an increased amount of light is captured.  In order to compensate for these conditions adjusting the aperture and ISO settings are necessary.  Another difficulty when shooting motion is being able to take the picture as soon as the required motion occurs.  Timing is very important in getting a quality motion picture.
