Photography 11
Lesson # 11- Sports/Action/Movement Photography
Big Idea: - To investigate the techniques required in photographing a sporting event or an event that has a great deal of action. - To become familiar with the technique of using faster ISO speeds on a digital camera.
Assignment:
-
Your subject must be a sport or an action that you do not control.
-
Your goal will be to create images of the action in a way that best describes that action.
-
You can use outdoor or indoor activities. Do not restrict yourself to either one of these places, explore multiple actions.
-
Sport photographers rely on their knowledge of the sport in question as well as their camera handling skills. Try a number of different events or activities.
-
Experiment with different camera angles that would exaggerate or best describe the action being captured.
-
Remember indoors in most gymnasiums require that you change your ISO to 800 - 1600/3200. Start with 400 but be prepared to ramp up if needed to stop action (shutter speed). Also do not forget to adjust your white balance accordingly.
-
Do not rely entirely on activities around the school. Try outside the school. eg: horseback riding, skiing, figure skating, ice hockey, road hockey.
Presentation:
2 contact sheets of 40 images in total, ordered with your best at the top, demonstrating your problem-solving technique and thorough investigation.
4 edited jpegs sized 8.5" by 11" at 300 dpi. - all in a labeled folder on the server. - When editing do not forget to straighten please.
