Who doesn't know them, the impressive snapshots of sporting events, birds of prey swooping in or geysers at the moment of eruption. After marveling at the effect of the picture, the question often follows as to how the photographers managed to capture one fleeting moment , which sometimes lasted only a few thousandths of a second, to be captured pin-sharp.
Action-packed shots depend heavily on the Ideas on the camera, the technology used and of course the experience of the photographer. The following describes in more detail how from now on everyone will be able to capture one action-packed moment forever.
The exposure time so moments are frozenn
The longer a scene is exposed, the greater the risk that movements in the picture will be blurred or that the picture itself will be blurred. When capturing moments of sport, frolicking pets, or birds in the wild, the exposure time possible fast be. This works best with bright lenses with the widest possible aperture. Exposure times of 1/4000 seconds or even faster are ideal for car races or winter sports. Cameras with one prove to be practical electronic shutter , these shoulder such short shutter speeds without any problems.
Exposure times of 1/1000 seconds are often sufficient for football or wildlife photography. In addition to the exposure time, the exposure time is of course also important for a razor-sharp image ISO value the camera. This is best set manually, because in automatic focus the camera often selects a value that is so high that disturbing image and color noise can no longer be avoided. Such are ideal fast exposure times when there is sufficient light in the form of natural light or artificial light, for example as lightning , is available.
Spray and pray the benefits of burst modes
Choosing a single moment to release the camera in the midst of the action often goes awry. It is therefore better to use a method that professional photographers like „Spray and Pray“ to name. What is meant by this is the method in which, by means of the burst mode as many pictures as possible are taken in a row. This can be recognized by the iconic sound of the clasp, which is so often heard at press conferences or sporting events. If ten, twelve or more images are captured within a second, chances are good that there is something useful in them. Fast memory cards , which save quickly prove to be a great advantage with this method, as they help ensure that the buffer does not fill up too quickly, which allows for longer continuous shooting.
Lightning on the second curtain
This method is recommended if little light is available or if a movement direction should be frozen visually. With a longer exposure time For example, the path of the athlete or the animal is practically captured as a ghost image, just before ther second curtain closes and the exposure ends, the triggerslightning out of.
Prediction and perfect timing
If the one, ideal moment is captured, it is absolutely necessary that this is anticipated. There are several reasons for this, so photographers should of course on the one hand right place stand when something happens. On the other hand, it makes sense to focus on the location of the event to focus manually , so that the focus is on when the expected moment arrives.
It depends on the focal length, distance, focus mode of the camera and type of lens automatic focus often difficult to correctly identify the right element within fractions of a second when there is a lot of movement. In such moments, photographers have to imagine beforehand where the desired moment is likely to occur. It is helpful to study a certain behavior beforehand, for example in sports or in animal photography.
