JOURNAL NOTES: 140-149

•  electronic flashes are a good way to stop or freeze action
• camera measures the amount of light from the flash during the exposure, turning off the flash when it has put out enough light
• for action photography, consider using a tripod while shooting.
• however, not always the best choice
• tripod can be awkward in a crowd or if you have to change camera position suddenly
• monopod: one tripod leg that mount under the camera or lens and eliminates the camera's up and down movements
• freeze action: to capture the moving subject as a stationary object with no blurring
• blur: by slowing down shutter speed without moving the camera
• camera motion blur
• subject motion blur
• out of focus blur
• depth of field blur
• panning: using a slower shutter speed while moving the camera to follow the subject
• used to make the subject more recognizable when intentionally blurring it.
