Action Photography

Zone Focus- Zone focus is when you focus on a certain area, and wait for the action to be in the area and you take the desired picture.


Shutter Speed-Shutter Speed is how fast or slow the "door" opens and faster SS's freeze action, and slow SS's don't capture as much action but allow more ambient light in, eliminating the use of flash, (in some cases)





Panning- Panning is when the photographer moves with their subject, trying to capture a blur behind the subject but still holding the subject sharp and in focus when the shutter closes.





Waiting for the Pause-Waiting for the pause is when the photographer knows there is going to be a certain action shot they want and they use zone focus and waits for the specific desired shot.
