This Workshop will walk the photographic artist through multiple methods of demonstrating motion and the techniques for capturing motion for display on a 2-dimensional medium. Whether the attendee is wishing to capture a child playing soccer, a high speed car passing by, or the motion of torrents of water splashing over rocks, the workshop will provide the opportunity to question, and practice the techniques available for best effect. Examples will be drawn from the experience of 2 advanced photographers who will discuss the impact of object size, lens choice, aperture, focus point, use of flash, panning, viewing location, timing, and shutter speed. Advice will be provided on which technique to use to capture motion but it really comes down to how you want to communicate movement, and how the elements of a good photo (composition, lighting, etc.) work in conjunction with your skillful handling of a given motion capture technique to create a successful photograph.
About David Penty:
I received my first camera at the age of 12. It is still with me – a German Regula rangefinder. Dabbling in photography through University and for the odd rock band that needed an album cover, I enjoyed working in my own darkroom. In 2003, I joined the Mississauga Camera Club and took on Director roles as Secretary, Communications and President.
I enjoy travel and have photographed in multiple continents. I’ve also travelled in every region of Canada. Landscape photography is my primary interest In 2015, I switched to micro 4/3. I’m a certified Drone pilot and that is beginning to be added to my photographic repertoire, for both still and video images.
Over the last few years, I’ve conducted at least 6 workshops, the last two with Xin.
