The best carnival in the area is the Glen Burnie Carnival. Andrew was sure to remind us when it was happening, No summer can be completed without a trip to the carnival. We made the trip this year with the Phillips, Joey, Katlin, Missy and Kevin. Michele asked me not to bring the camera but I wanted to play a bit.
Most of my pix were meant to show motion. Here are the settings I used
Panning. This technique is following the subject to keep it in focus but makes the background blurred.
Continual focus, to keep the moving target in focus on the single AF point.
Small Aperture, to get a slower shutter and large DOF. If the AF falls off the subject a little the DOF will keep things better in focus. I dont have to worry about the background because its blurred from panning and the next item.
Slow shutter. I used about a 1/30 or slower to help blur the background. This also blurred hand and head movement but I think that adds to the artsy theme.
