Hay /p/

I'm taking a B&W 35 mm slr photography class and our newest topic is motion photography and my faggot teacher wasn't there to explain shit to us, so I have the following questions for you /p/:

a) What are the best shutter speeds and f-stops for frozen action?

b) What are the best shutter speeds and f-stops for panning? Also any tips on panning?

c) What are the best shutter speeds and f-stops for blurred action?


thanks /p/

Yeah, anything higher than 1/125th will stop motion of just about anything under 80MPH, and when panning, follow the subject with the camera and press the shutter while still moving.

WTF is with that myspace pic, btw!? Creep shit

WTF where did you hear that rule, IF you've taken any Racing pics you will realize that that is false. More like 30mph

people usually pan with 1/60th - 1/200th of a second shutter speeds, and you can be sure as hell Dirt Bikes don't go over 80MPH on a Supercross course (not the amateurs I photography anyway)

newfag... try to understand what a f-stop is, what aperture is, and what shutter speed does, and what happens during photography, in general.

There are loads of beginner guides on the internet, effing google.

Also, if you can't figure how to get blurred action and frozen action by correlating that to the shutter speed, quit photography, NAO!

OP here.
Yes that IS in fact Aria Giovanni in my pic.

Also f-stop controls how much light the aperture lets in and the shutter speed controls exposure time, moving on...
You guys rock =)

I strongly suggest you find a better teacher if he has trouble explaining the basics.
