There are a couple of ways you can
create compelling pictures of objects in motion with your digital camera??”the
actual method you use depends on your subject. When you??™re photographing
a subject such as a pole vaulter springing over the high bar, you can freeze
the action, because it??™s readily apparent your subject is in motion. However,
when you photograph an object like a race car, traveling at well over 100 mph,
freezing the action makes it look like you snapped a picture of a car parked
on the track. Your goal in this instance is to capture all of the detail on the car
and still convey the sense of speed. The next two sections show you how to
photograph both types of objects.

Photograph Rapidly Moving Subjects
When you photograph a subject such as a downhill skier or a pitcher unleashing
a blazing fastball, your goal is to freeze the motion. A photograph of a skier
with flakes of snow flying from the tips of his skis makes it readily apparent
that the skier is traveling rapidly.
