Action Shoot

I have learned that Zone Focus is when you find a spot where you know there is going to be action and focus on that spot and shoot when the action enters the frame. When taking action shots your Shutter Speed has to be high it has to have a big aperture, and high ISO. Use Panning which mean to follow the subject and shoot also keep focus on the same spot. Also you should Wait for the Pause this means a time when there is a pause in the action or game.

I like photo number 9 because I like how it has the cars going by with the steam of light. But i also like the structure of the building. With the circular design going around it makes it look cool. The lighting is what catches my eye because how the lights reflect off the building making it the brightest thing along with the light structures. All in all i really like the building and the design of it.

Winning PortfolioDustin SnipesStrengthsColor, Composition, Good involvement, creative, in the middle of actionWinner processSee if there are any bad pictures, look if there are any blanks in the middle, see if the stories are the same, look at all the strong pictures, see if there is diversity
Individual photos
Agree The girl running through the hurdle. I like it because it makes you want to know more about the picture like who won or what happen, but i really like how it shows the girls legs passing her up. It looks as if the photographer was at the finish line of the track. I Disagree about the kids about to fight with the blue and red mats. I dont think it should be off centered because havin it centered makes it balanced

Individual images

I agree with the judges on the rugby picture about it being first because I like how the guys eye is being poked and by him showing emotions shows how dangerous and crazy the game is.

I disagree with the judges about the racing picture with the girls falling because I think it should be in the top 3. I think this because it shows a lot of action and how it catches your eye, also how it makes you want to know what happens next.
