Zone Focus- Focusing on a zone where action is likely to happen and waiting for the action to come to you. Ex: waiting near the end zone in football

Shutter Speed- High shutter speed for action and high light. Low shutter speed for panning and low light.

Panning- Following a subject with your lens to capture action when you need to use a low shutter speed. Good for low light.

Waiting for the Pause- Natural pause in the action that can be predictable or suspected after some observation. Ex: Moment after kicking, throwing, or changing directions in a sport.

This is my favorite photograph of the Long Center. It is an amazing example of a great angles and shapes. The stair case and the rails lead the eye through the photo. The combination of vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines make it more dynamic. The layered shapes and walls of the building give the photo more depth. This photo really accents and shows off the beauty of the building.
