As the subject comes closer, you??™ll have to move faster to
keep the subject in frame.
5. Press the shutter button when the subject is at the desired point.
TIP
Practice taking pictures of different moving subjects in
various lighting conditions. Choose the largest image
size and highest quality your camera has available,
unless your camera has excessive shutter lag. If this
is the case, choose an image size and quality that will
enable you to quickly capture the action and still create
an acceptable image. If your goal is to freeze motion,
choose a shutter speed that is fast enough to freeze
motion. The shutter speed will vary, depending on how
fast the subject is moving. If you??™re photographing
a runner, you can use a shutter speed of 1/125 of a
second. If you??™re photographing a race car rounding
a corner and your goal is to freeze the action, a good
starting point is 1/2000 of a second. As you press the
shutter, make a mental note of the amount of shutter lag
in different picture-taking conditions. This will help you
anticipate when you need to press the shutter button to
thwart shutter lag as a subject moves into view.
