Simple Tips For Better Pics 19: The Notion of Motion

By: Peter Milota, Jr.

"So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:"

1 Corinthians 1:7

 

In my last article, Simple Tips For Better Pics 18: Be Still..., I shared about the benefits of taking a really fast shot with the shutter and capturing something suspended in time, frozen in it's place to really appreciate it's beauty.

This time, we go the other way with it, as there is a tremendous story waiting to be told in pictures that convey a fluid motion to them.

The beauty of it, is that you actually have much more flexibility in this area of photography as it is a bit easier, although more time consuming, to get some great shots. So many things move around. Cars do. Birds do. So do waterfalls. Yep, even turtles (just be more patient with them). There's a lot of cool images and stories you can tell!

Below are a few examples that come to mind.

 

Whereas before we had to take the image with the fastest shutter speed possible on our camera, now we leave the shutter open for a bit. Can be a second. Can be much longer. Experiment with the results and find the look you want. Yet another great thing about digital cameras, we don't have to deal with the limits (and expenses) of film... Just don't forget a sturdy tripod!

Which reminds me, here's another favorite of mine that I wrote about in another article a while back. It can be seen here; same idea: Simple Tips For Better Pics 7: It's Like Sunglasses For Your Camera

I found the passage above from 1 Corinthians to be a great reminder of the believer's call to patience. Good things are worth the wait. When it comes to photography, in this case taking photos of moving objects, it's worth the wait. Patience is key. When it comes to Salvation that is only through faith in Jesus Christ, and we walk out that faith in obedience, trusting and waiting for Him to come again, how much more important is that! It's infinitely more-so... worth the wait! Patience is definitely key. Even if it takes a lifetime. Keep that shutter of faith in Jesus always open...

 

Until next time...
