I Think This Belongs Here...Why Does This Happen?

I mean, photography is an art. Anyways, everytime I photograph my fiance playing drums, the photos look all smeary and weird. Why does this keep happening?

 

like motion blur? is that what you're talking about?

 

Check your shutter and film speeds... If ur taking pics inside or at night with no flash it's gonna be pretty hard to avoid blur.

Shutter speed should be above 125 if ur shooting something thats moving... try for 500 or 1000.

Film speed should be at least 400 unless you've got really bright light. 800aso is pretty versitile for indoors

 

that's horrible!
I went to the concert where my bf was playing and none of the photos are valid

look!

 

faster film would have helped yours ursula, if thats film and not digital

 

at least you can kind of make out that there is a guitarest out there

 

No it's digital "olympus"
Without light (or how it's named?) can't be seen anything on the pics.
blah..

Dear rasta.penguin, you seem very optimistic

 

Get a better, less motion sensative camera. I also own an olympus, but I specifically bought mine with motion capturing functions.

(Sepultura are a wonderful band, by the way)

 

id say being more aware of the settings on the camera u have now will work a lot better than buying a new one...


Apeture is another thing to keep an eye on

 

Was it set on some sort of low light setting? If so you might want to change the exposure time.

 

you need to adjust your shutter speed.

 

yes... when max cavalera was there..

That photo I posted already was made by "auto program"

here are with "night scene" (which is grey) and without light..
I think it don't has the speed corector or something like that..


P.S. To be honest... That was the first time I've used that "machine"..
so there can be 1000 reasons to have bad quality. :&
