Bannack: Action Blur & Freeze



1. Spins: 5.25.11; Bannack, Montana; f25; 1/25; Canon Rebel T2i; Manual
2.Splashes: 5.25.11; Bannack, Montana; f5; 1/640; Canon Rebel T2i; Manual

I loved taking these pictures. The first one was really fun to blur the background. I actually got on the carousel and took the picture while the subject and I were both spinning. With a small aperture and a slow shutter speed I was able to keep the girl in sharp focus while blurring the background. For the second image I did almost the opposite. In order to freeze the splashes beneath Connor's feet I had to have a large aperture and a very fast shutter speed. This allowed me to freeze everything in the frame. Minimal edits were done to both images in Camera Raw. Splashes was also edited in Photoshop. There was two people in the background distance between the subjects legs. In order to erase them I used the cloning tool to mask them out.
