“Fall Scenes” was the theme of this month’s competition at the Van Wert Area Photography Club’s recent meeting\u00a0Thursday, November 10.\u00a0 Cheryl Knost was the winner with an impressive image taken along the river trail going toward the monument\u00a0in the Fort Amanda Memorial Park.\u00a0\u00a0The park\u00a0is located southwest of Lima on St. Rt. 198.\u00a0 Members voted to drop the dollar entry and no-show fees (at least for now) but will continue to keep the voting for the best image submitted.<\/p>\n

Larry Dickerhoof brought an article concerning The Ohio Camera Collector’s Society, which is the oldest camera collectors club in the US.\u00a0 They meet monthly in the Grandview Municipal Center\u00a0in\u00a0Grandview Heights,\u00a0just 2.6 miles south of the OSU football stadium.\u00a0 He suggested that it might be a possible field trip.<\/p>\n

The club’s next regularly scheduled meeting will be on Thursday, December 10. \u00a0It is the annual Christmas Dinner. \u00a0RSVP to Secretary, Rex Dolby, at: \u00a0dolbys2embarqmail.com<\/a> or 419.238.4545 to attend our annual Christmas dinner that evening.<\/p>\n

Previously we discussed the reasons for\u00a0the causes of motion blur and how to avoid it.\u00a0 This time the subject will be the reasons for motion blur and how to achieve it.<\/p>\n

Probably the main reason is to show that something is in motion. This can be achieved in\u00a0three ways, each depending on\u00a0the purpose of \u00a0the\u00a0photograph.\u00a0 One is using a slower shutter speed that allows the subject to move to whatever degree (depending on the shutter speed)\u00a0in or through the frame while the background remains\u00a0in sharp focus.\u00a0 The movement of the subject is the message of this photo.<\/p>\n

A second method is called panning.\u00a0\u00a0Using just a slightly slower shutter speed than you would use for freezing the subject, track the subject with your camera as it approaches and\u00a0comes closer to\u00a0you. Keep moving the camera to keep a good composition with more space in front of the subject than behind.\u00a0 Panning should compensate for the slightly slower shutter speed to\u00a0freeze and emphasize the subject and at the same time streak the background to where it may be only a suggestion of what is back there.\u00a0 If you want the background to be more recognizable, still pan and use a little faster shutter speed.<\/p>\n

The third situation is to use a slow shutter speed to capture\u00a0a subject that is stationary while the background moves around or behind it.\u00a0 This method will emphasize the subject as well as create the feeling that what’s around it may be frantic or busy.<\/p>\n

In all three situations, use a tripod with a lockable but\u00a0 smooth swivel head, select a position where the background will contrast with the subject to make it stand out, and take a lot of pictures at different shutter speeds and panning rates to achieve your desired results. You know the drill\u00a0-“Practice makes Perfect!”<\/p>\n
