Subject movement control:

The movement of the subject in relation to the camera has a basic relationship with the shutter speed to be used. As the subject coming towards the camera or moving away from it does not need a high shutter speed. And if the subject is moving diagonally or horizontally in relation to the camera, then it needs a faster shutter speed than the previous one. The closer the camera is to the subject, the faster the shutter speed must be used, and vice versa

For example, if you are photographing a racing car that is three meters away from you, you need a high shutter speed, such as 1/1000 of a second, to freeze all the movement. But if you are at a distance of 12 meters from it, then you need a shutter speed of 1/125 second only. There is an important note that you must be aware of, which is that not all movements need high shutter speeds to freeze them. Observe a hero diving in the water as he prepares to jump the high platform. He jumps softly in the air and then plummets. After jumping directly into the air, there is a very small moment in time when he stops rising before he plunges into the water. This cessation of ascent is caused by the effect of earthly gravity, which is trying to pull him down.

If you own a simple camera with a fixed shutter speed, which is usually 1/30 of a second or 1/60 of a second, and you want to photograph such a subject. Then you have to photograph the diver at this small moment in time, then you do not need a speed greater than 1/30 of a second to freeze the movement. But remember that timing the right moment to capture its decisive role here for a clear picture

Racing car photography:

When photographing racing cars, you must be at a reasonable distance from the circuit so that cars pass in front of you. Panning is used as it is ideal for filming any active movement, no matter how fast it is. To do this, you must follow the following steps: Set the shutter to 1/60 of a second and set the aperture to match this shutter speed. Then focus the focus ring on where the cars will pass. And now, when a car approaches you, fix the camera with your hands on your face, while fixing your elbows on the waist, making them an ideal pillar for the camera. Move your body from the waist towards the oncoming car while looking from the viewfinder. When the car enters the viewfinder, follow it with your camera, and at the appropriate place, take a picture of it, while the camera continues to follow the car in its movement while you press the shutter button. Do not be afraid of shaking the image here because the movement of the camera will match the movement of the car so that no vibration appears on the negative. You need to take several photos this way to get used to it. And when you see results, you will persevere in using it all the time with quick goals. Because the car here will look sharp and well-protruding, but the background will appear horizontally blurred as a result of the camera’s pursuit of the car, which gives a strong impression of movement.

Photographing sporting events

This type of photography requires extreme dexterity from the amateur. Even in the field of professionalism, we find only a few photographers who have excelled in this field. The captured images should make the viewer think that he is inside the relevant event. In addition to necessity

Availability of a quick reaction by the photographer to photograph sudden events. You need a telephoto lens, but this does not mean that you will not take any sports pictures without this lens. Each lens has areas of use that must be utilized to the maximum degree. All there is is that the telephoto lens brings you closer to the subject if it is far from you. For example, when Filming in a football field where you can get close to your place to the middle of the stadium.

Shooting sporting events requires knowledge of the origins of the game in order to anticipate the time when the event will reach its climax - such as scoring a goal in a soccer match - and be ready with your camera to shoot it at the right moment -

Sometimes sporting events happen sequentially - such as a soccer pass between players before they enter the goal - be sure to photograph these events sequentially, so you get what is more fun than just an ordinary picture. As you will get a short story told through several consecutive shots of the event

Yourself to deal with that the field of filming active movements is not limited to racing cars or football matches only, it is the daily life itself. A child playing in the garden is a field of active movement, and a person running in the road is a field of active movement. Any moving object that you encounter on your way is a field of active movement. Therefore, you must train unexpected events quickly by having your camera with you, ready wherever you go, to photograph the strange and unexpected from daily events. You have to be quick and have the right judgment, because fast movement does not wait for anyone.

Active movement everywhere:

Filming active events brings you fun and excitement because these events do not always happen. And if it happened, people often do not see it because of the speed of its occurrence. When you get used to this method, you will find yourself drifting towards it in your entirety, and you will regret the time and opportunities that you wasted before discovering it and applying it.
