With a slower shutter speed a very dynamic effect

can be achieved. A slower shutter speed needs to

be set on the camera (e.g. 1/60), then the

photographer has to follow the moving subject and

during this movement the shutter has to be released.

TIP:

To get good results under difficult light

conditions or with lenses with smaller

apertures, a high ISO number (e.g. ISO 800)

should be set on the camera. For short or

medium distances (up to 25 m) a Program

Flash can be used.

Taking images of fast moving subjects is a great

challenge for both the photographer and the

camera equipment. Releasing the shutter at the

right moment is crucial for capturing an expressive

image.

Filling the image area with the subject from a

distance requires lenses with a longer focal length

(over 100mm). Telephoto lenses or zoom lenses

with a large aperture (e.g. AF 100-300mm f/4.5-

5.6 APO (D)) are most suitable, so that shooting

with fast shutter speeds is still possible when the

light conditions are not perfect. This enables the

photographer to “freeze” a fast movement. The

narrow depth of field that results from the large

aperture separates the main subject from its

background for even greater emphasis.
