Tricks to Capturing Motion

Photographing moving subjects is likely the most challenging type of photography that’s out there. The fast-moving action demands not only a lot of concentration, but also a lot of confidence with the camera. Merely having a professional-level camera is no guarantee that you can get a great shot of that one unforgettable and pivotal moment. It requires a balance of awareness and timing and technical know-how to really pull it off consistently. Capturing motion is more than just sports photography. There is movement everywhere, and how you capture that movement can result in some great photographs.
