Assignment: Freeze the Action by Using a Flash
Don't be bashful! If you want comments, give comments. You don't need to be an expert photographer to express your opinion about the work of others. You don't need to go into great depth. A simple remark about cropping, composition, color, subject matter, etc. can be of just as much help to a budding photographer as an in-depth critique.
Attend a kids sporting event, go to the park, or even watch people in your backyard to capture your subject in action by using your flash. Choose the most eye-catching image, post it online at www.pwsbooks.com, and share your experience with us. How many different shutter speed settings did you use? How many images did you take?
To complete this assignment, I asked Nyle to show me all the tricks he knows with his skateboard. By using a flash, experimenting with shutter speed settings, and taking a lot of pictures, I had a few good images in the group. This is my favorite shot because I captured Nyle in a dynamic position in mid-air. By using the flash, I have very little motion blur in the image. Taken at ISO 100, f/22, 1/50 sec. with a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS lens.
