Capturing movement

From a previous shoot, I knew I needed to lower my shutter speed to 1 seconds or longer exposure. I tnis short shoot, I found that the best images were between 3-10 second exposure. I also found that the smaller the aperture, the better the result due to the exposure time letting in a lot of light.

I made my subject move her head from side to side with different facial expressions.

These are my results:

2 second exposure F20
 2 second exposure F20
 2 second exposure F20
2 second exposure F22
2 second exposure f22
2 second F22
2 second F20


2 second F18
1.3 second f11
f11 1 second
f 11 1.6second
f11 1.3seconds

The faster exposures like the 1.3 captured blur well but didn't quite capture expressions. The longer the expousre, the better the expressions were captured.




After this test shoot I captured some more with a less busy background to see the full effect and was much happier with the outcome:

I found that the less light captured in the image, the more clear the movement and expressions were.


f7.1 1.3second exposure
f7.1 exposure time 1.3
f7.1 exposure time 2.5 seconds
f7.1 exposure time 2.5
f7.1 exposure 2.5
f7.1 exposure time 2.5
f7.1 exposure 2.5
f9 exposure2.5
f9 exposure 2.5
f9 exposure 2.5
f9 exposure 2.5
f9 exposure 2.5
f9 exposure 4 seconds
f8 exposure 8 seconds


f11 8 second exposure - with a longer shutter speed I managed to capture 3 different facial expressions in the same image
f11 exposure 8 seconds
f11 exposure 8 seconds
F11 8 second exposure
f11 8 second exposure
f11 8 second exposure
f11 8 second exposure
f11 8 second exposure


From my results,, I can get better blur with a fast shutter speed (Around 1-2 second exposure) and with a longer exposure I can get blur and facial expressions, with a longer shutter speed (8 seconds) I manged to get 3 different facial expressions.
