| Action Stock Photos |
You’re walking around taking pictures and suddenly you see a very large and very mean looking prehistoric dinosaur rush past you. You pull your camera out and take the picture but realize that the shutter speed was set at a wrong speed and the picture is fully blurred. Now you have no evidence that you saw the dinosaur and when you tell everyone you won’t have any evidence!
Action stock photos can be very profitable. If you take the picture right and compose it right your photo can be worth quite some money. Action photography is primarily done with objects that are in motion. Obviously! For action stock photos you need an action going on and must shoot the action.
There are primarily two different ways to capture motion when taking photographs. One way is to use stop motion. What stop motion photographs do is freeze the motion. If you had someone spit and took a photo that used stop motion the spit would freeze in mid air. To achieve stop motion in photography simply se the shutter speed very fast. Stop motion photographs can be very cool looking and very profitable. If you use stop motion creatively you can take some very interesting pictures.
Rather than take the stereotypical stop motion photos of people jumping in the air be creative! Think of everything in your life that has motion and see how it’d look with stop motion.
Another way to capture motion is by using a very slow shutter speed. A very slow shutter speed will make the motion in the picture look blurred. It is important to use a tripod so that the motion is blurred but the overall picture isn’t. Slow shutter speeds can make your stock photos of running water look as if the water was floating. They can make waterfalls look mystical.
As with stop motion, be creative when taking pictures of action using slow shutter speeds. Probably one of the most common stock photos I see that uses a slow shutter speed is with cars. They are the night photos that have cars driving by and creating blurs of bright lines. This is frequently used with stock photos. There are, however, many other ways to use slow shutter speeds. Think about using slow shutter speeds for air planes instead of cars. Maybe of boats at night with their lines creating blurs.
