Capturing the Karate Kid’s movement
Some camera creativity going on in the household over the past couple of weeks!
I wanted to experiment with slow shutter speed combined with flash to really help capture the hidden movement in a subject.
I roped in my son as my muse. He managed to be a good model for about the first five minutes, then all concentration and focus was lost. However, out of the many shots I managed to take, I thought this worked out pretty well!
What’s that phrase – never work with animals or children, especially your own!
Below are a couple of stills I thought were pretty good to work with. After some post processing I’m pretty happy with the end result.
