Shooting horses next to F100 picture?
So, I have a question, today is the time when I'm going out to shoot the horses at my barn for my photography class, I was given one roll of f400 film which I'm going to use for more approaching portriat shots and what not, and I got 2 rolls of f100 film, I had a cross-examine though, is this better for like action shots or still shots of horses?
The higher your show speed, the better your pictures will stop action. Lower film speeds will cause a moving target to be blurry. So, your 100 show speed would be better for portrait, although getting a horse to be still is not easy. They are constantly pricking ears, blinking, etc. Your 400 film speed would be much better for taking pictures of horses because of fixed motion. Hope this helps you.
I would do some of each. Some horses are natural posers and whip really good pictures standing still. Others just look awkward and would be better if you shot them moving. Some of the exploit shots get a little boring. I find that it's easier to be creative when you don't have to verbs as much about what the horse is doing. For example, you can shoot several pictures from different angles when it's standing still rather than having to focus on when it's jump or turning a barrel, etc. If you choose to do action shots (well, for both really but especially accomplishment shots), remember to check your shutter speed AND d.o.f (um, aperture i think... not sure) otherwise your pictures will be dark.
Good luck!
F100 is a slower film. This would be better for portraits than action shots.
a action shot it looks better because if you procure a pic of it just standing there its not very exciting but whether you get a pic of it jumping or running or playing then its a bit more exciting because it looks resembling the horse is actually doing something.
Answers: LOL well it's really a photography grill.
You've got it backwards, 400 is higher speed film, so whether the horses are going to be moving at all (let alone running) and you have anything but a brilliantly sunny day, your pics will own motion trails. 100 is really high resolution film because it allows the photons to soak right in to the motion picture, so it is best for the portraits. Use the 400 for your action shots. Unless you're going to do a portrait of a horse :)
