    The document outlines four photo assignments focusing on different techniques: 1. Freezing motion with fast shutter speeds, having students take photos of jumping subjects. 2. Continuing to freeze motion, with photos of running, motion, flipping pages, and more. 3. Freezing water splashes with fast shutter speeds, having students take 10 different splash photos. 4. Using panning to freeze a moving object while blurring the background, requiring students to take 5 photos using slower shutter speeds.

    The document outlines four photography assignments focusing on different types of motion and techniques like panning to freeze or blur motion using different shutter speeds.

    The shutter speed assignments aim to have students practice capturing motion by freezing jumping, running, and other actions using fast shutter speeds, as well as blending motion with background blur using slower shutter speeds.

    Assignment #2 focuses on freezing motion of a running person, any motion, flipping book pages, and any other motion using a high shutter speed.

    Assignment - Shutter Speed

    Assignment #1: Freezing a Jump


    In this photo shoot you will take pictures in shutter priority mode (Tv). You will freeze the motion of jumping
    people by using a fast shutter speed.

    What to do:
    1. Take 10 pictures of jumping people using at least 5 different shutter speeds (starting from 1/125 sec and
    up)
    2. Pictures need to freeze the jumping person in the air
    3. You cannot be in the picture. You have to take the picture of a jumping person.
    4. Create a new page on your website and name it "Jumping".
    5. Insert your pictures onto your website. Add a caption for every picture including the shutter speed.
    (Example: Three jumpers - 1/125)

    Important: YOU have to take the pictures of the jumping people. You cannot upload a picture of yourself
    jumping.

    Your pictures need to include the following:

    Pictures 1-2: one jumping person


    Pictures 3-4: action jump (example: karate)
    Pictures 5-6: two people jumping
    Pictures 7-8: three people jumping
    Pictures 9-10: any jumps you want
    Assignment#2: Photographing Motion  
     
    In this photo shoot you will continue practicing taking pictures in shutter priority mode. This time you will
    freeze the motion of different subjects. Use a high shutter speed.

    You will take a total of 6 pictures containing the following:

    1. Pictures 1-2: Person running


    2. Picture 3: Person in motion (any motion)
    3. Picture 4-5: Flipping pages in book, magazine, notebook
    4. Picture 6: Freeze any motion you want

    Create a new page on your website and title it “Motion”. Insert your pictures onto the page. Add a caption
    for every picture including the shutter speed. (Example: Sliding Sue - 1/125)

    ● Insert a text box under your photos.


    ● Answer the following questions in the text box:

    1. Which of your pictures do you like the most? Explain why.


    2. Did you experience any difficulties when taking the pictures? Explain what happened. Did you solve
    the problem?
    Assignment #3: Water Splash 
    In this photo shoot you will take a variety of pictures that freeze the motion of water.
    Shoot your pictures in shutter priority mode and use a fast shutter speed.

    ● You will take a total of 10 different pictures. Each picture needs to freeze a
    different type of water splash
    ● Create a new page on your website and title it “Water Splash”.
    ● Insert all 10 pictures onto your page. Caption each photo and include the shutter speed info
    (Swirling blue water - 1/300).
    ● Add a text box underneath your photos.
    ● Answer the following questions in the text box.
    o Which of the 10 pictures do you like the most? Explain why.
    o Did you experience any difficulties when taking the pictures?
    o Explain what happened. Did you solve the problem?

     
    Assignment #4: Panning 

    In this photo shoot you will use the panning technique to freeze the motion of a moving object. Take five
    photos in shutter priority mode and use a longer shutter speed like 1/15sec or 1/30sec.

    What is panning?
    Panning is as a technique that gives the shot a feeling of movement and speed. It’s particularly useful in
    capturing any fast moving subject whether it be a racing car, running pet, cyclist etc. You pan your
    camera along in time with the moving subject and end up getting a relatively sharp subject but a blurred
    background.

    Criteria

    ● Practice panning first


    ● Create a new page on your website titled “Panning”.
    ● Upload the photos (five or more) to the page. Caption each photo and include the shutter speed.
    (Ex. Cars on Briarcliff – 1/15)
