Zone
Staying In your zone is a smiple technique that helps getting a great action shot
if you forcus your camra on a sertain place (your zone) when action passes trough
you smiply take the photo making it easier to capture

Focus
Its to hard to do manual on an action photo. Dont even bother trying.
Manual is the simplest. You can get the photo in great focus.

Shutter Speed
You want a high shutter speed to capture still action. A low shutter speed is for light.
you will get just ennough depending on your surroundings. if you want some what of a blur but a GOOD blur you put it on a low shutter speen and Pan.

Panning
Panning is when you place the shutter speed low. When doing that with action you must follow it at the same speen the action is moving to capture it. this will give you a good blur.

Judges Point of View

1.Name of photographer – Justin Motts
-stories
– the focus (selective focus), the idea of some photos (what he shot), trying to get the story out of the photo
- Tells a story and shows concern, likes the face in the floor ground, good composition
- It was really acward and strange. Had a lot of space and weird shots. Very unexplainable. There were a few strong shots but over all it was an unusual portfolio.


2.The competition of each photo is different
In every photo someone is doing something different
They liked every photo
They liked how he got out there and in everything
Nice sport shots
Everything is different
Different emotions every time
Nice Photoshop
Great facial expression

I really didn’t see any weaknesses


3.How many strong photos are in there
The stories they show
The emotion the photo in the portfolio gives
How the portfolio is done
Good editor of the portfolio


1.In the Cross Country photo i agree with the amazing shot and how it her body language shows her trying to get the goose away from her.

2.For starters they dnot like the view of the first picture. I honestly do like the view showing his speed down the track
