Action Photography

Zone Focus is where you figure out where action is going to happen, and you let it come to you.
Shutter Speed needed to freeze action is very high, fast.
Panning is when the lens is moving with the action, you take the photo while your moving with the camera.
Waiting for the Pause is to wait for the moment right before something is going to happen.

This photo shows the entire building. The main focus of the picture is how the light works with the building. It was taken during the night time. The darkness of the sky is in good contrast to the lights on the building. It was taken with a slow shutter speed and a small aperture.

Stories
Focus. too many kids. not showing a story.
The strenth to take the 1st picture.
Bad Framing. good graphically
Most of the pictures look like they're cut off

carlos delgado
story
Cluttered background. fuzzy background. bad color. captions dont match pictures
Good cloud picture.
the judges are really negative
Some of the stories the pictures tell are incomplete


Winning portfolio
good angles, everyone is doing something, good moments
good color
too much photoshop, some look setup

contest recap video
Something that stands out, that doesnt have the same feel as the others.
rewarding diversity
good editor

PART 2

The 1st picture story. He did a really good job in telling a story in 8 pictures. he covers different aspects and it comes together really good.

The judges think that the 2nd picture story is good and i think it isnt. They think he describes the sport in a good way and makes it excating. The only picture that seemed exciting was the one of the fan being excited.
