Disposable Cameras - "Action" Photography

 

Most sports photographs that you see were not taken with a disposable camera, "action" photography is taken with a very fast shutter speed or to get a slow motion effect a very slow shutter speed something that disposable cameras can not do because disposable cameras come with a set shutter speed set at 60 which is good for the average picture.

There is a way to get some "action" into a photograph taken with disposable cameras, by panning the disposable camera while holding down the shutter button the photograph can have a sense of "movement/action", Special care must be taken not to move the disposable camera to quick or to slow in order to have a decent action photograph.

A disposable camera should not be used for the purpose of taking a "action" photo unless there are no other options available which usually is the case when using a disposable camera, mostly people that forgot their "real" camera at home or tourists make use of the disposable cameras.

Another reason a disposable camera is not suitable for "action" photography is, photographers can not come up close to take the proper photograph of "action", because the event is being played out on a field or in a stadium where it's just not possible to get close up, disposable cameras do not have a zoom lens except for one Kodak disposable camera which has a very weak zoom which would not do much good anyway.
