The Action Shot

Our next focus is the Action Shot 

·        Focus on the subject of the shot

·        Anticipate where the subject is moving to (with some digital cameras you need to allow for the delay between pushing the shutter and the photo being taken).

·        Don’t be afraid to move the camera as you take the photograph [Pan with the subject, this can create a blurred background which gives a sense of movement].

·  When composing the photos try and leave space in front of the subject.

Photo Assignment:

Take a few action photos. Experiment with trying to pan with the subject of the shot.  Choose 2 photos to send in (one must be a pan shot). Before sending photos in please rename them to “Focus3yourname1”   “Focus3yourname2

Photos are to be emailed to jimmy.ocarroll@tawaint.school.nz by Sunday 8^th June.

Pauatahanui Inlet Photography Competition

In late March the school photography club, In Focus, spent the morning at Pauatahanui Inlet taking photos.  We were trying to capture images to enter into the annual photography competition run by the Guardians of Pauatahanui Inlet.

Last weekend the Guardians had their awards function and Tawa Intermediate was well represented in the honours for the junior section.  Ciara Gibson received a Highly Commended award for her Nature photo.  Cerys Lewis received Highly Commended for two of her photos, one in the Nature section and one in the Recreation section.  Michelle Pearson achieved even higher success, winning the Nature Section with her beautifully composed close up of a crab.

We are really proud of the students' success and want to thank the parents who provided the support and transport that made the photography trip and competition entry possible.

Below are the winning photos along with a couple of other photos taken by In Focus members.
