Freeze Motion Images

Blur Motion Images

Pan Motion Images

Your Assignment:

Shoot well composed images of Freeze, Pan and/or Blur Motion on one roll of film

 

Compositional Focus:

Think about how you use positive and negative space – avoid mergers

Shoot at the proper shutter speed for each:

Freeze: 1/500 or faster

Pan and Blur 1/60

 

Important wisdom about ISO (please read if you are doing this shoot on your own and not with the class)

ISO setting is important on this shoot – depends on lighting conditions – MrL can explain  – ISO should be fast for freeze (like 400) and slow for pan and blur (like 100).  However you can shoot any and all of these with the same ISO.

If shoot on a bright sunny day, you can shoot this whole roll at 100 ISO.  Just be sure you are shooting your freeze motion in the sun.  Pan and Blur can be shot in the sun or shade.

If shooting on a cloudy day, 400 ISO will likely be best.  Shoot freeze in brighter locations as much as possible.

It is not recommended to change your ISO with film in the middle of the shoot on the same roll of film.  On digital cameras, each image is independent of the other so can be shot on variable ISO settings. With film, all images are connected by their development time so if you vary the ISO, some exposures may come out overly light or dark because the ISO setting changes the exposure and thus this will affect the density of the exposures once exposed to chemistry.
