Stop Motion uses a fast shutter speed to "freeze" the action

Generally it is best to choose a decisive moment for the course of the action

Motion - Blur

Blurred Motion uses a slower shutter speed to accentuate the feeling of motion and causes image repetition, or blurring

Edges of the object in motion will be indistinct and there can be a ghosting effect

Motion - Pan

Pan Motion occurs when the camera follows the arc of motion in a parallel path

The subject should be sharp and the background will appear as if it was 'pulled' across the scene

1/30 second shutter speed is best

Light - Direct

Direct Light has a strong single light source that produces harsh edges and high contrast

In these examples, you see the light source but it is not necessary to show the source of the light - only the result

Light - Indirect

Indirect Light has 2 or more light sources illuminating the scene

Shadows may come from multiple directions and will have softer edges than with direct light

Light - Diffused

Diffused Light has a soft and even light source that surrounds the subject and fills in most of the shadows

Pre-dawn, post-dusk, fog and cloudy days are best for this type of light

Light - Silhouette

Silhouette Light has a backlit effect that will have a properly exposed background with a dark (underexposed) foreground object

The subject should be between the photographer and the light source
