If you frequently take pictures for work and / or pleasure, I thought you would find the PC World Magazine article Five Tips for Winning Photos by Dave Johnson of interest.
Here is photo tip #4…
4. Freeze the Action
No matter how cute the animal you’re photographing, be sure to freeze the action, or the only thing people will notice is that it’s, well, blurry.
Of course, this advice applies to all of your photos, even ones that don’t involve fast-moving furries. You should practice techniques for taking steady photos, use a tripod when you can, and learn how to use the Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority control on your camera to freeze the action with a fast shutter speed. And when you need to, bump up the ISO to enable faster shutter speeds in low light conditions. Read “Capturing Subjects on the Move” for more details on these techniques.
