The capacity to freeze motion in time is what “Motion but Frozen” is all about. As humans, we experience the world around us as a series of events that never comes to an end.
Milky Way: The Milky Way was started with a spinning. ball.
However, the camera can halt the events with just a click, allowing us to analyze every fraction of events. Capturing motion is all about freezing action mid-air. The key to capturing any kind of fast motion is to use a faster shutter speed and burst mode.

Sometimes a little bit of blur can be a good thing, as it gives a sense of motion. Our eye naturally fills in the gaps and assigns a particular gesture to these kinds of images.
Scooter: The race towards its destination.
Motion blur is a motion photography technic to show fast-moving objects. You’ve probably experimented with this style when shooting streets at night. Using a low shutter speed, you can show fast-moving subjects and contrast them against the crisp background.

It’s very important to use a tripod so that your camera is steady and you can capture the background well instead of capturing one big blur.
Towards Infinity: Trying to reach the end.
Motion photography can communicate mood. It can give your photographs a unique look, especially if the objects strongly imply movement. It is a great way to capture the emotion, expression, or joy in images.
Red-Green: The color clash.
In motion, photography panning and splash photography are commonly found. Panning is a motion blur technique that blurs everything but your subject and splash photography is a creative way to capture the exact moment the water splashes.
