Avoid this easy to fix Photography Mistake

You can partly see the mistake in this first photo (i could claim it was done on intentionally because i didn't show all the bad ones :))

It is motion blur. Caused by slow shutter speed. You can check all the details about SHUTTER SPEED HERE

In short, i made an amateur mistake by keeping the shutter speed to slow. Setting for most photos were 1/160 sec. I wanted to keep the ISO as low as possible (1000 ISO for this one) and thought 1/160 of a sec. would be ok for a play.

If you mess it up big time, you will see motion blur on your camera screen because everything will be blurry. But when you make a half mistake it is hard to see it on the screen of the camera if you don't zoom in on the part it is blurry. And in this half mistake blurry parts were those that were moving faster (mostly hands and legs 😄 sometimes head or full body)

So the easy fix here would be to set the Shutter speed to 1/250 (think that would work) and get the ISO up to probably 1600.

Now the shoot was not a waste but there were some photos that were blurry and i would be happy with them, if i only got the speed up.

Think about your shutter speed when you photograph moving subjects.

Now to the second part of this post. Can you guess what is the story of the play?

One clue that was not possible to capture and it is pretty important for the story.
There is a sting of a bee somewhere half into the play :)
(it was hard to capture imaginary bee :) )
