Hanford sentinel7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() If you’re stuck with a slow shutter speed or dim lighting, you might have better luck aiming for the quick moment of stillness, or peak action, when, for instance, a figure skater stops being propelled upward and is about to sink back down. There are a few other tricks in the action photographer’s bag. The lighting, too, must be extraordinarily bright, since the quicker the shutter speed, the less light gets in a photographer will widen the aperture to let in more light accordingly, and for long-distance shots, an electronic flash unit is required. To catch fast-moving action, a shutter speed of at least 1/1000th of a second is usually required. If the shutter speed is slower, it will produce a blurred image, and, if it is much faster, it has the chance to capture instants that the eye can’t register clearly. If the shutter speed of a camera is set around this range, it will capture motion in a way that looks natural to the human eye-that is, sharply if the image is a person ambling down the street, but perhaps more blurrily if it’s a tiny UFO speeding through an alley. This can be considered analogous to the eye’s shutter speed. As on a movie camera, moving bodies register on the eye as a series of still shots that decay and are “refreshed” at imperceptibly small intervals, about 1/30th to 1/50th of a second. This is not so different from how the eye and the brain process images. The lens lets in the light from anything that’s in front of it, which is then recorded on film or digital sensor. When a picture is taken, the camera’s shutter opens and closes in front of the lens, letting in a precise amount of light for a set amount of time, depending on the exposure setting and the shutter speed. To understand how a stationary photographer can capture a cheetah in midstride or the expression on its face as it dunks a basketball, it’s helpful to first consider how any camera works.

Sever said more events like Wednesday are planned with the hopes that it can happen every few weeks to give the people in the community more chances to come out. 11, we’ve gotten nothing but support from the community,” Sever said. With various professional athletes currently protesting recent police shootings by kneeling during the national anthem, Sever said he’s only received backing from community members. It fell just a couple dozen votes short on the June ballot. ![]() He also takes the opportunity to let people know his support of Measure K, which is on the November ballot and is a sales tax measure that would help fund public safety. Sever said questions he gets are often about updates on local gang activity or what can be done about a speeder on their street. “People get to see we’re not statues and that you can talk to us.” “It’s just a good informal way to get to meet people and ask us different questions you have,” Sever said. Hanford Police Chief Parker Sever, who was in attendance, said events like Wednesday are a good way for community members to ask questions they would feel hesitant to if they didn’t feel comfortable going down to the police station. Officers came from the Hanford and Lemoore police departments, the Kings County Sheriff’s office and other agencies. Plenty of people packed in for the two-hour lunch with local radio station KFUN (92.5) broadcasting live from the event. Wednesday, the program was extended to Lunch with a Cop, with officers from the area meeting with community members for lunch at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Hanford. In May, Coffee with a Cop was hosted at the Hanford Starbucks on Lacey Boulevard. HANFORD – Getting to know local law enforcement officers can be as easy as having a cup of coffee or taking in a plate of barbecued ribs.Įarlier this year, local area law enforcement agencies took part in the national Coffee with a Cop initiative, which aims to help improve relationships between officers and citizens through casual meet and greets instead of waiting to interact with them only during emergencies or emotional situations. The Hanford Sentinel posted a great article about this event, here! You can also check out the photos from it, here! ![]()
