2. If you??™re using a high-end digital camera or digital SLR, switch to shutter priority mode,
and choose a shutter speed of 1/1000 of a second or more. You may have to increase
the ISO rating to achieve a shutter speed that is fast enough to freeze the action.
3. Switch to continuous focus mode, if your camera is so equipped.
4. If the subject is traveling toward you, press the shutter button halfway to establish
focus. If your camera is not equipped with a continuous focus mode, pre-focus on an
object equidistant to the place where your subject will be when you capture the image.
5. Press the shutter button fully to capture the desired image.
Blur Image Backgrounds to Enhance Motion
When photographing rapidly moving vehicles, the practice of using a high
shutter speed goes right out the window. Sure, you freeze the action, but you
also freeze everything else, including the rapidly rotating
wheels and tires. The image you end up with looks like you
took a picture of a parked vehicle. The solution is to use a slow
shutter speed and pan with the subject.
1. Switch to shutter priority mode.
2. Choose a slow shutter speed of 1/125 of a second when
photographing objects like race cars. If you??™re photographing
slower vehicles, like racing bicycles, you can use a shutter speed
as low as 1/60 of a second.
