Yes
I want to capture images of objects that move fast but unfortunately each and every time the Photo goes Blue. I am not able to get that exact picture perfect shot. So is there anyway by which we can control it?
 
Not sure what you mean by photo goes blue? Assume you're getting motion blur with fast moving subjects so need a faster shutter speed. If so, there are loads of apps that offer this. A search for 'shutter speed' in the app store should find plenty.
 
Yeah i mistakenly spelled it as Blue instead of Blur!
"Assume you're getting motion blur with fast moving subjects so need a faster shutter speed" Yes each and every time i click a snap of a fast moving object it goes blur :(

I did tried many of the Applications but still it did not worked. I didn't get that perfect shot that i was aiming at!

2 things;
You need to be able to control the shutter speed. (There might be an app available)
Practice, practice, practice. If it was easy everyone could do it. It's a technique called panning, where you follow the moving object precisely with your camera.

A disadvantage of using a phone is that looking at the screen isn't the best posture for longer shutter speeds, outstretched arms= camera shake.

I know it's really difficult to control the shutter speed with stretched arms. o_O
But I really wannna learn this Art of capturing fast speed moving objects with a Camera

Can you please name out some apps for the same??
 
Without seeing some examples of your attempts it is difficult to give aspects of advice.....

So here is a link to "panning" as it applies to camera technique though the writer does say this
"What about smartphone users? Good news: You’re not left out in the cold. Even with a vanilla smartphone, you can often get decent panned action photos, because your phone might be shooting with a relatively slow shutter speed anyway. But if you really want to exert control over the situation, try an app like Top Camera, which includes a slow shutter mode."

The Top Camera app he notes is it seems no longer supported :(

Now, I also have a smartphone with a camera function but it would never be a choice for me when shooting wildlife..........................even a compact camera with its shutter lag (the time difference between pressing the shutter button ad the actual moment the picture is taken) makes catching motion a 'hit & miss' affair. So expecting the smartphone to capture motion like a dSLR (or other higher level camera) is not going to happen! Yes, no doubt with good technique and an app you will get pleasing images :)

Best of luck finding an app to help and that you can master 'good technique' because please remember it is you that takes the picture, the camera of whatever type is only a tool and not every tool is right for every job.

Sorry I'm not an expert on phone apps, I've used proper cameras my whole adult life.
I'm sure someone already mentioned an app. that'll allow some control of shutter speed.

However, your phone is only as good a camera as it is a typewriter, tv, hifi.

If you feel the need for greater control of your images, then you should buy a proper camera. Which is a tool for controlling every aspect of picture taking.
 
Some phone cameras have an "advanced mode" which lets you set the shutter speed, might be worth googling you phone make/model to see what options are available,
 
what people are trying to gently tell you here is you are not going to get a "picture perfect shot" of this complexity using a smart phone.

Sports and wild life photographers invest 1000s in their equipment and years of training for a reason.

So, forget it and get a proper camera
 
I'm beginning to think there's something a bit odd about the OP reading through some of her previous posts and this.

Apologies if genuine, but this sort of question is strange coming from a 'freelance photographer'...

Perhaps the OP could put some examples up?
 
The OP rarely responds to threads that she (or he?) has started, and uses a picture of Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma for their avatar. Things aren't quite what they seem, methinks.... :thinking:
 
But, then again, I look nothing like the image of Peter Wyngarde as Jason King in my avatar... I'm more like Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]
 
OP has recently added an ad. to the right of her/his post (Signature, where lots of folk add a link to their pics. flickr etc)

The OP will log on again at approx. 5.30 - 6.30 AM. :rolleyes:

I would say they are advertising that app

I am wondering of you have to have a certain amount of posts before you can add a link in your signature field?

Exactly what I was thinking.

A couple of weeks ago I was expecting a few posts in the classifieds to appear, but advertising was more likely their reason for posting. ;)
 
I did think their list of lenses was odd.

Main Camera:
Canon EOS
Second Camera:
Nikon Coolpix
Lens #1:
Canon Prime Lens : Canon EF
Lens #2:
Nikon Prime Lens : Nikon AF
Lens #3:
Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR
Lens #4:
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR
Lens #5:
Canon EF-S 24mm
Lens #6:
Canon EF-S 55-250mm
 
The app advertised is designed by Ebizzinfotech, who appear to produce a number South Asian font apps. Where did the OP say they were from again? Surat in Gujarat? That figures.

Me & Phil questioned that in another thread.

Especially when she/he reckons to know nothing ....... but earns a living from photography! (although in light of the ad. it's maybe not a downright lie. :whistle:

Not to forget she recommended the D7000 to someone, implying that she owned a D7000 and posted some sample pictures taken with the D7000

Only problem was the pictures were taken with a Canon EOS 1300D

Ooh I missed the posting of pictures! Which thread were they in? Were they an exact picture perfect shot with no blur? :naughty:
