    Mitrailleur

    Shooting the camera in the mitrailleur mode. The time is less than 1s.

    That was the intention of this series.
    Later I used this method to shoot a butcher chopping meat. Rather low ss and hoping on a nice image when his ax lowered. I think the time between the begin and the end of that movement is less as a second. I was less successful.

    In a darker environment, this type of shot often works very well when used in combination with flash. The ambient light will give you a nice motion blur (with an appropriately long shutter speed) and the flash will freeze the subject. Setting the flash to Rear Curtain (Nikon terminology) or Second Shutter (Canon terminology) works well.

    Nice shots George.

    Noted: Man wearing blue cap standing in crowd camera left of woman in beanie (he is standing behind female with plaits crouching in the ‘Jump Line’) . . . he appears texting on his phone throughout the jump . . . hilarious!

    Public can be a nice object: either they act all equal or there's one that does something else.

    About this way of shooting. It's often used in different kind of sport photography. I just went to the World Press Photo exhibition. I think the two winners used the mitrailleur to.

    And for the lazy ones the picture. IT'S NOT MINE. But on the site the codes for Facebook etc are given. So why not for here?

    On the website you can also see some exif.

    Off topic.
    I wanted to take my new wide angle lens with me. But my camera bag slipped from my shoulder at the top of the stairs. Lens broken, camera still working. I always have it on my neck, now on my shoulder for some unknown reason.

    Very nice George...but how did you really do it? Can you please explain the process? My recent shots at a Chinese circus all have movement blurs...what is your setting? did you use a tripod? Any more details that I need to learn from? Thanks for any response...

    Mitrailleur= continuously shooting. That's a setting on your camera. It will take 5,6,7,8 shots per second. I do set the camera on manual. I forgot to set the lens on manual too but I doubt the focusing is working in that mode.
    The exif is in the pictures. Mine were 1/1000s, f8, iso 1000 and 28mm. Just a choice but you need a short shutterspeed.
    For the exif of Cameron Spencer you must go the the site I linked.

    Sorry for the late response...I was otherwise occupied lately. Thank you for the explanation. I will try it sometime when the rain stops. I think we are going to have a good week next week. This week was shot! I am saving your response so I do not forget when I go through my notes.

    P.SD. Thank you for the link...I appreciate this very much. I will look into it...

    I understood you 'lost' your exif viewer. In the supermarket?
    I don't know what happened but if you use firefox under windows you can install an add-on in the browser. Than right mouse click on the picture, select exif viewer and that's it.

    I kinda like my Chrome one which I lost. It was very detailed including what the other person used as an editing software just by right clicking. I just bought me a MacBook Pro 17" but I am using the old laptop for internet until I can get used to it...so moving programs to the Mac was a pain. There are some programs I need to buy that Windows can use but not a Mac. In my confusion I lost my EXIF program. and that is my excuse. The truth -- I am not computer savvy anymore. Old age.
