During the Winter Olympics, we’ve seen more than our share of athletic action sequences—complex motions broken into stills. For this week’s Shooting Challenge<\/a>, you’ll be recreating the effect in the real world (or anywhere else you like).<\/p>\n

The Challenge<\/h1>\n

Shoot an action sequence<\/a> of any sort.<\/p>\n

The Method<\/h1>\n

You’ll want to set your camera on a tripod and shoot in burst mode<\/a> with a minimum of 3-5FPS. Then you’ll combine these images<\/a> in photo editing software.<\/p>\n

The Rules<\/h1>\n

1. Submissions need to be your own.
\n2. Photos need to be taken the week of the contest. (No portfolio linking or it spoils the “challenge” part.)
\n3. Explain, briefly, the equipment, settings and technique used to snag the shot.
\n4. Email submissions to contests@gizmodo.com.
\n5. Include 800px wide image AND 2560×1600 sized in email. (The 800px image is the one judged, so feel free to crop\/alter the image for wallpaper-sized dimensions.)<\/p>\n

Send your best entries by Sunday, February 28th at 11PM Eastern to contests@gizmodo.com with “Action Sequence” in the subject line. Save your files as JPGs or GIFs, and use a FirstnameLastnameAction.jpg (800px) and FirstnameLastnameActionWALLPAPER.jpg (2560px) naming conventions. Include your shooting summary (camera, lens, ISO, etc) in the body of the email.<\/p>\n
