Assignment 4- Motion

My Friend On her Horse

For all the pictures with a sharp image I used the sports mode on my camera. With this mode it resulted in clear pictures, this is because there was a higher shutter speed.



My Sister on Merry Go Round.

The Merry Go Round picture is one of my favorite pictures because it shows motion really well. I like how the image is blurry which shows it is going really fast.
For the pictures with a blurred image I used a slow shutter speed to take the pictures. The blurrier the photos the lower the shutter speed I used.
