TIMING AND MOVEMENT

Get into the habit of taking a few test shots to experiment with timing and movement. Each location and subject will vary – there is no formula with this sort of technique. For example, at this location I took three test shots with identical camera settin

Test shot 1

This is too static, and the image just looks unintentionally blurred.

Test shot 2

This has too much movement and any object definition is lost altogether.

Test shot 3

Not too fast, not too slow, and like Goldilocks’s porridge you will get it just right.
