Do not forget to use motion in your pictures. Like this:
So I took that today with one hand – the other was holding a McDonald’s coffee, outside Henry’s School of Imaging in Toronto. I was about to go back in to do course two of the day.
Now, normally I would have gone to “Tv” mode (“S” on Nikon: shutter-speed priority). But with one hand and no time to lose that was impossible. So I rapidly did the following:
- Pop up the pop-up Flash.
- Zoom out to 16mm.
- I looked through the viewfinder at the street as the truck was approaching.
- I was in Av (Aperture priority) mode. So without the option of changing that while holding the camera with just one hand, I simply turned the Aperture setting up to to f/22, which I saw was what I needed to get to a shutter speed near 1/15th of a second. (I got to 1/20th: at that time time ran out and I left it there).
- Press the shutter!
All took about, oh, two seconds. And I hope you agree that is not a bad fire truck photo.
