Crediting the Photographers

After posting several pages of blogs, I have never shown the names of the students who have their photos shown in here. Here they are:
Norhossin Masilum, Mariele Dara Tanco, Krista MaeVillamor, Meshaq Dangel, Floritel Alave, Medelyn Castre, John Carl Biera, Jandrey Abejo,

More names will be added as I continue my hourney . . .

Speed!

In Photography, a technique of taking shot is panning. This requires that you follow your object as it moves with your camera. This makes the subject clear and the background a bit blurred. But the blur implies action. It implies speed. Most Photography books however emphasize motion by freezing a moving object. Or deliberately blurring the moving subject on a static background. Whatever technique you apply, the viewer of the photograph gets the idea of motion.


However, some motion shots do not show blurring. The reason is high-speed shutter (both in Digital and Film-based). A high speed shutter somehow causes all moving objects to stop. This is called freezing time. Shutter speeds from (1/125) or lower (1/350) can freeze all actions. Unless the action is really high speed, an even lower (1/1000) can do the trick. Be aware though that using high speed shutter limits the light exposure too. So you really need a strong amount of lighting to successfully make a freeze time shot. I can only show a few shots of my students frozen in mid-air. Its the best they can do with their digital camera. My students tried their best to take pictures of vehicles and running people to no avail. So they decided to take the matter into their own hands.

The chair thrown upward was taken with Kodak Easyshot Digital Camera. The above picture used Pentax Optio Digital camera. In this exercise, only two students managed to give me outputs. The rest weren't as imaginative yet. On both shots, its midday, where strong light is available.
