Today's Real World Design post is about taking fast action pictures. I find myself wanting to take pictures while I'm in the car or take pictures of something that's moving, like a person running or a ball being thrown. Before I got my DSLR, I didn't even know how people took fast-action shots. I had a cheap PowerShot point-and-shoot that I could only control the ISO on. So whenever I took a picture in the car, it always turned out blurry. However, after using my DSLR and learning about shutter speed, I started taking shots while moving at 60 mph on the highway. This expanded so many capabilities and possibilities for new, creative shots. When I was thinking about a post to write about, I stared out the window and watched the water drip off the patio umbrella. Then I realized that I could take some shots of the water dripping and get some cool shots. If you want to try this for yourself, grab your camera and set it to a high shutter speed. 1/1000 will do, but you can go higher if you want. Next, set your aperture to the lowest f/no it can go. This will make the photo brighter. If it's not bright enough, adjust the ISO until it's bright enough to see the water. If you're using AF(autofocus), focus on whatever is dripping the water(if it's not far away) and then focus on the water droplet to make sure it focuses correctly. Otherwise, it might focus onto the background since the water drips too fast for the camera to focus on it. See the shots below for some inspiration!
