Panning

 One Person Walking
   I was in front of the school when I took this photo. I had to make sure the focus was on his face and trying to get blur in the background. This shows my skill by the way I told Luie to walk gives a little emotion to the photo. I actually used the same setting as the one I used for the cars passing by. I wish I blurred out the background more.

One Person Running
    I was right under the Q-hut on the grass. The only problem I had with this photo was getting Jessica to because she doesn't like to run. I like how I was able to get everything in view because I was worried it would become washed out. I tried configuring out the settings so the photo would come out crisp. I wanted to get more blur but whenever see ran by she would stop.

Multiple People Running
    I took this photo in front of the school in the grass. I had problems trying to get both people in focus. I like how I used the 2/3 and 1/3 rule of the landscape and the sky. At first I tired getting different angles to get a better shot of the people running. I wish I had fixed the ISO because the picture was a little dark.

Vehicle Moving
   I took this photo in the teacher parking lot it was like the only photo luie would let me take. The only problem I had with this photo was setting the shutter speed. I like this photo the most because I was able to blur the background very well and get Mr. Pederson in focus. I tried setting the shutter speeds to make the background just as I wanted it to be. I also wish I had fixed the ISO on this photo because it also looked dark, but the dumb clouds came in and darkened the photo.

Vehicle Moving 2
   We were all on the sidewalk in front of the school when I took this photo. I had problems getting the car in focus without it too becoming blurred. I like how I was able to get the full car in view and was able to have it crisp. I had to mess around with the f-stop a lot to get it to work. I also wished I had blurred the background more in this photo. I plan on improving on all my photos by playing the Shutter Bee game on my free time if I have any.

Shutter Speed Exercises

Stop Action: Jumping
 I took this photo just outside under the food court by the library. To get this photo we had to make sure all the settings were correct because a couple of times I took the photo too late or it was over under exposed. It has good representation of skill because I was able to stop him just over the trashcans. We left it the same settings because after one guess of the setting adjustment and the pictures came out fine. I could have improved by having Luie face me by jumping the other way so we could see his face.

Stop Action: Running
I took this right in the grass by the front of the library. I only faced the problem of light but in the picture it came out fine. I like how I displayed the force Luie ran at Erin by their expressions and the timing of the shot. I actually played around with the settings a lot then said try running at each other and in the first try I got the picture. I wish I had gotten a little more contact to really show how fast they ran, but other than that its great.

Stop Action: Dropping/ Falling items
I took this in the same place as the Stop action running. I actually had no problems cause you're a great model Mr. P but I did have to take the picture at the right time to get droplets. It represents my skill by getting a stop action shot of water. I didn't try any different settings just the shot time changed was all. I could have improved the lighting it might have used a little more exposure to brighten it up.

Motion Blur Running
I took this photo just outside the Q-hut. I had problems with timing the shot and making sure the photo didn't get washed out by the sun light. I was able to blur Luie and also made him look like he was jumping over the trashcan when he really wasn't. I tried changing the ISO so that the photo wasn't completely washed out. I wished I had him not jump that way you could tell it was a running motion that gave off the blur.

Motion Blur Action
  We were at the Gym wall when I took this photo. At first when we tried this Jessica didn't have enough leaves to show off the motion of the leaves. This represented my skill of being able to keep her in focus and the leaves blur. I tried each setting prior to this shot to make sure it looked great. I could have improved on getting more leaves next time.
