Barely having lifted our cameras, Millers photog class found ourselves with our first assignment. The first priority on our list is shutter priority. Catching moments frozen in time, along with motion streaking across the frame. We learned to manipulate settings and navigate camera complications. For about a week I wandered campus and main street looking for opportunities. The color guard provided lots of opportunities to capture the motion blur, along with cars on the main street. For Motion Freeze Emily Dean was my primary model. The constant motion around campus was unbelievably helpful. At first, it seemed redwood, during class periods, would be a pretty dry place for finding shots but as Emily and I looked around we noticed more and more options. From this point, it was time for a shot list. A common challenge we faced was exposure. The shutter speed also affects the exposure of your photo so finding the balance and making constant adjustments on my camera was crucial. The majority of my photos didn’t turn out as is common but by the end of the week, The practice paid off. I’ve gained an exceptional amount of knowledge from this assignment that will 100% come to use in my future photog endeavors.
