Creative Challenges – Capturing Motion

Capturing motion in your photograph requires you to have a very good control over your camera’s setting. However your technical skills alone cannot guarantee an photos with impact. To create a photo that captures motion and create impact you will also need to get creative. Here are few examples that show cases motion:

  • Aspen. Colorado

  • Maui, Hawaii (HI), USA

  • Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

  • Skogar, Iceland

  • Evening Light on Mount Rundle – Banff National Park – Alberta, Canada

Objective: Create a series of images with motion as the central theme.
What You Will Learn

  • How to capture many different types of motion with your photography.
  • How a fast shutter speed can freeze motion and capture details that aren’t easily seen with the human eye.
  • How a slow shutter speed can eliminate distractions and capture patterns by blurring motion.
  • How blending multiple exposures can help you to capture extremely slow motion or only select motion in the scene.
  • How to creatively embrace motion in the field instead of fighting it.

Here is a video in which Varina walks us through her thought process in the field as decides which camera settings to use as she captures different types of motion. She provides examples of motion at several different shutter speeds and offers some inspiration for making the most of the motion in your environment.

About Author Jay Patel

I could startoff like this – “Seeds of Jay Patel’s appreciation for beautiful places were planted early in his childhood….” but it would get boring really fast. I will just sum it up and say that I am a Landscape and Wilderness Photographer who loves to capture dramatic light. My photographs have been published in various magazines, calendars and advertising materials throughout the world.

Patience is a virtue...unless you are chasing your dreams

The lens in focus

“Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot.” — Unknown
