Picture of the Week
A once-a-week look back at some of my favorite photos.
The Handoff (Oct 2024)
Reno Valley Middle School vs Smoky Valley Middle School
The Smoky Valley quarterback prepares to hand the football off to a fast-moving running back.
I got this interesting effect when I was experimenting with a slower than usual shutter speed of 1/125 of a second. The two running players (#7 & #5) were moving fast enough that the shutter could not freeze their motion, so they were captured as blurred images. But the quarterback, who was moving much slower, is perfectly sharp. Normally I would need a shutter speed of 1/500 of a second to remove all of the blur from a football image.
