Taking Pictures of Tobogganing

Tobogganing can be fun for everyone, and it can be fun to take photos. However, it isn't always easy to do so. There are several things you have to take into account. You need to have a fast enough shutter speed, and you also need to make sure your aperture is small enough to pick up the detail. Both these and the ISO are going to make the difference of whether you can have your subject in focus.

I didn't manage to get every subject in focus as much as I wanted to, but it is good practice. I loved the expressions on the children's faces as they were flying down the hill. 

There was a jump and I tried taking photos of them coming over the jump. Most of these were too blurry to put on this blog, but I will put one on so that I can remember what it looks like when the subject is not in focus. It gives the idea of speed, but I didn't get the focus on the subject.

And the last thing to remember is to make sure you are safe when you are taking the pictures. When I was near the jump, the 10 year old lost control of his toboggan and bowled me over ... head over heels. I'm glad we were both okay (and that my camera was too). Do be careful if you are trying to get these photos and have fun.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
