I have a last word in our marriage -
'Yes Dear!'How to take sharp photos with visible movement:
- Use the tripod to make sure your camera won't add more movement.
- Have a good enough but not to bright light at the subject. I used my soft box here, but even a room light or a flashlight would do a job. Sun, super strong flood lights or flash are not good as a base light source.
- Have a flash, and if possible, set it to fraction of its strength. It will be used to provide a sharp part of the movement (i.e. the lower position of the turtle's head).
If you have a directional movement like a ball kick, use the 'rear curtain' setting for the flash on your camera, or it will look like a ball received. - Set camera to a manual mode with a long exposure time. If your camera doesn't have manual mode, the 'Night Portrait' scene will probably do the same job.
- Experiment with amount of base light (#2) and flash strength (#3) until your subject is nicely lit, and movement is still visible. If your flash is too strong and your equipment doesn't allow you to change its strength, try putting a piece of white tissue in front of the flash. Changing distance between the subject and a light source works too.
- Once you got a photo you like - publish it so we can see how did it work for you. If you can't get it right - send me the best photo you got so I can send you an improvement suggestion.
