How To Stop Motion

It's all in the shutter speed. These bowlers were shot at 1/160 of a second. It's just fast enough. I used my flash to fill in the lighting because most of the house lights were in front of the bowlers. A good flash will synchronize with the shutter up to a speed of 1/250 of a second. I also increased the sensitivity, the ISO, up to 2000. Increased sensitivity lets you increase shutter speed and still get a good exposure. High ISO usually adds noise to an image but my Canon 5Ds gets good images at high ISO and I reduced the noise in developing. I also increased the brightness in developing.

Digital=Developing=Details

The combination of a 50mp digital SLR and modern developing software creates a workflow that's exponentially faster than the "good old days". The result also includes great latitude in developing colors, dynamic range, and details within the image. I shoot most things as they happen with wide ranges in lighting. Some people who've only shot digitally don't know that the JPEG preview you get when pointing-&-shooting isn't the only possibility. I use Adobe products to develop my RAW files and, occasionally, fix the contents to the clients' needs.
