Blur Action
The objective of this assignment was to capture an interesting subject matter in motion while catching the motion with a "blurred" effect. It also taught students how to adjust their ISO, shutter speed, and aperture in order to take a picture with blurry motion. Blur motion can be achieved by a slow shutter speed with a matching aperture to balance the light meter. There are multiple types of blur motion that include traditional and panning. Traditional blur is when the subject that is in motion is blurry while the subject that is still is clear. To achieve this Peyton stood stationary while her motion moved to create the blur effect. Panning blur is when the subject in motion is clear and the background is blurry. The achieve this Peyton followed her motion with the camera at a similar pace of her subject to create the clear motion. Students then were given time to shoot experimental blur. There were four types that students had to shoot: Multiple Exposure, Light Drawing, Zoom, and Rear Flash. To achieve these Peyton needed a long shutter speed and an aperature to match. Light drawing and multiple exposure needed a longer shutter speed than zoom or rear flash. To take zoom blue Peyton zoomed in or out to create the effect and for rear flash Peyton had her flash go off at the end of the shutter. Peyton most enjoyed shooting multiple exposure because she was very successful and found ways to be creative. Her favorite was Multiple Exposure 2 because of the clear bright faces paired with blurry motion of moving her head and overall compisition of the image.
