1.1,2.1, 2.2 I would use my FujiX100F camera with a 23mm lens, nice and light weight to take with me to capture action shots. When photographing inside and freezing the action I could use a wide aperture for the subject to really pop out with fast shutter speed and I will need to increase the ISO, as it will be slightly darker shooting inside. When photographing outside I can keep my ISO low as there will be more light, I might need to increase my aperture slightly so the while image is crisp and clear with the panning.
3.1,3.2 Firstly I experimented with stopping the action again both indoors as well as outdoors. I wanted to practice my panning too, as that was something hadn’t quite achieved with my first assignment. I was happy with picture of my little girl in the running pram, as it shows the movement as well as the focus on her face. The shutter speed of 1/30 worked well for this. My favourite picture of freezing the action was of my little boy being thrown in the air as he is clear and crisp in the picture against the lovely back drop of the sky. As it was quite bright the exposure was quite high so in light room I did adjust the highlights slightly. The ghosting was fun to play with. My children enjoyed being ghosts, not so good on being the still person in the picture! In the day time as my kitchen is so bright and my Fuji camera only goes down to ISO 200, it was quite bright, but just about worked. I could use a slower shutter speed in the evening light. I set up my camera on a tripod, then set a timer to 10 seconds, I would jump in or move in the frame about 2 seconds after I heard the click. I was happy with how the ghosting worked. With the freeze the action and the fast shutter speed used inside the ISO had to be increased to 400, I could have maybe increased this more with Charlie being thrown up in the kitchen, as the sky backdrop is over exposed.
4.1 With freezing the action and throwing the children up in the air we really had to try and be safe as possible here! With the running fast with the pram, I made sure we were in a big open space with no other people nearby in Richmond Park. And when using the tripod, I would always move it out of the way or take it down straight after to prevent anyone tripping over it.
