Techniques for good action + motion photography
Some techniques for good action sharp photography are to shoot in TV mode. Tv mode chooses everything for you but your shutter speed. Another way is to shoot in auto focus mode (AF). When you’re shooting in AF mode and you’re shooting action sharp you don’t have to be focusing manually and missing your shot. You should also use a wide lens to capture everything.
Some techniques for good motion blur are to also shoot in TV and AF mode. To shoot with a lower ISO than action sharp. Another way is to shoot with a shutter speed lower than 60th of a second. Shooting lower than 60th of a second allows you to get the blur affect. Also use a smaller aperture when shooting for motion blur.
