How to
Stop
Moving
Subjects
Sports
and
other
fast
action
call
for
high
shutter
speeds
-
otherwise
your
pictures
may
be
blurred
. But
even
under
unfavourable
light
conditions,
requiring
slower
shutter
speeds,
you
can
stop
motion by using
professional
tricks. It is
easier,
for
example,
to
stop
motion
of
a
subject
moving
straight
toward
the
camera,
or
at
a
slight
angle,
than
it is
to
"freeze"
a
subject
moving
straight
across
at
right
angles
to
the
camera
.
Or,
watch
for
the
"still moment" such
as
is
reached
by a swing
at
its
highest
point
just
before
it
swings
back,
or
by
the
tennis
player
during
the
serve
when
the
ball
is
at
the
peak
of
the
toss,
and
the
racket
is
about
to be
swung.
Even
'/ro
second
will
"stop"
such
shots
. For
very
fast
motion
-
automobile
races,
speed
boats,
skiing -
another
well·known
professional
trick will
help
you
get
fine
results:
Keep the
car,
boat,
or
skier
centered
in
the
MINOX
viewfinder
and
follow
the
motion
with
the
camera,
releasing
the
shutter
at
any
instant
during
this
panoraming.
The
background
will
be
blurred,
adding
to
the
impression
of
fast
action,
but
the
subject
stays
sharp
even
at
'I"
second.
