Thanks guys
“”A”” is also my favourite but I also like “”D”” for some reason. Can’t resist that ALCO/MLW nose
My intention is to show "action shot" pictures. By that I mean: On the move, dynamic state, a subject in motion. This leaves no room for assumption (except the rate of movement of the subject). I did not intend, nor wanted a static shot, an immobile object in a static surrounding
Such has this one
There’s no way to tell if the model above is moving forward, moving backward, or immobile. This is an assumption
you are making. I would not considered a picture such has the one above an “action shot”. It is just a “shot”. It is left to the viewer to make his/her judgement based on a
false assumption. Unless you were there when I took the picture, there’s no way to tell what the lookie was doing.....and I'm not telling either
The blurring of the background comes from the fact the subject is moving and the background is not and my focus is on the model. Its like taking a “sport picture” of, say a football player in action etc.. You can take a static shot –frozen in space- or a dynamic shot -movement suggested- by focusing on the subject and not the background, while the subject is moving.
Such has this one:
or that one:
Another method is to focus on an immobile object and set a slow exposure to capture motion like this:
But this is not what I had in mind.
No outrageous speed was involved in the making of these pictures. The models were moving at a scale 35-45 MPH.
Again, thank you all for your great feedback. I appreciate it.
