Motion Photography


Here is the topic which u was waiting for.
.
.
.
.
It is not necessary that explanations of tuff things are also tuff, if u understand the base of something first then became very easy to understand the whole concept & u will the be then capable of modifying ur camera according to ur needs.
Motion photography is noting but just a technique of capturing still image which is not having any stillness in it, except the main object , Its done to make the viewers feel that the speed of thing when they were actually moving,Like racing cars, running horse , athletes in race .
See example:

.
.
.
.
Lets Start
Imagine that ur standing in ur balcony and suddenly u see are beautiful car coming from right side and going to left, what u do then? ,
U move ur head along with the flow of car ,from right to left, having aim in ur mind to keep the car on the same angle of eye ball from begging to the end of the scene.
Ur just want to see car and do not give a fuck to any thing else happening on road and as a result the picture which is send to ur brain,will just have the car in focos and every thing else is blurred , hootch pooch , with line moving hear and there .
Same is the case of motion photography,
The only difference is that in this here Ur Eye = Lens, Ur Head = Camera,
U just have to move ur camera with the motion of car ,having motive in mind to keep the car at the same angle of the lens from beginning to end.
As result will be Car in focus and rest of thing on road is flowing like waves in picture.
That what is called Motion photography.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But along with this concept u also require to know some technical concept also:
The length of the period from begging to the end (i.e The point time when u see the last glance of the car - The point where u viewed car at first time) ,just result something like 1/10 or 1/20 or 1/30 part of a second.
Means ur camera has to work for 1/10 part of second,
Its Clear than intelligent auto is not able to do this for u bcz auto is going to give u 1/400 of sec which will just give u a very very still image, as some fool has parked his car in between the road, So u have to set ur cam in such way that its keep capturing photo of 1/10
.
.




.
.
U have to set ur Cam on Manual (M) mode
Go ahead hold ur cam in hand , set it on M
When it in M mode U will see some number at bottom of Lcd ,like f3.2 100 7m or something like that
That is the key,
7m means the distance of object from camera.U can set it easily in M mode.
The number 100 means 1/100 part of sec called Shutter Speed (it various from 1/2000 part of second to full 30 seconds )and f3.2 means the ratina in side the lens, just like ur eye, which decide how much light is allowed to enter in cam called Aperture value.
Lower the f , larger the amount of light entering or u can say f3.2 allows more light the f8.
In Auto, f number is setted accordingly to the shutters speed , Slower the Shutter , Higher the f , Faster the shutter , Lower the f. Eg 1/200 with f5 or 1/800 with f3.2 or 1/2000 with f2 or something like that (Rule of thumb Shutter speed decrease means more light is required, hence smaller f number)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In auto mode , Shutter speed is always like 1/400 , 1/700 etc and never reached even near the speed which we need in Motion Photography
Slow Shutter Speed is causes lots and lots light entered into ur cam but in order not to turn ur pic extremely bright , we have to set in to higher f number , Eg 1/10 with f8 or 1/20 with f7
So we want to reduce the shutter speed and increase the f number
Click the middle of Navigation or directional button , the color of these number will changes, and use the upper and lower and left, right button to set speed.
.
.
.
.
U are now ready , Just go in Balcony, keep ur cam ready , Click the shutter when u see a Hot car , move ur camera according to speed and flow of car , and see the shocking results , which ur friend are not able to make.
U mightn't get the required result in beginning bcz ur master in handling ur head and eye from childhood but not camera, more and more practice will improve the quality of focus on the main object.
Also note that ,speed of all the objects are not same
U have to adjust speed of shutter according to speed of object, and f number according to shutter speed now just try and make ur self proud, don't delete the very first image, compare it with images when u get master in this, this will give u lots of satisfaction.
Thanks for ur time.
