9.17.19 Shutter Speed Articles

Good morning, Photojournalists!

First of all, I started grading, and some of you who turned in your "2019.20 PhotoJ Event Turn In And Reflection" haven't put your photos on the server.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PICTURES ARE ON THE SERVER! If you're not sure how to do that, remember, I made a video to the left and put it there.


Now for today's assigment:


You'll get a paper to fill out as you work your way through this blog posting.

Let's explore the creative possibilities and limitations of exposure through shutter speed. The shutter speed is the amount of time of the the shutter curtain stays open to allow light in.
Shutter speed is one of three variables that determine exposure (along with aperture and ISO) as illustrated in the exposure triangle (actioncamerablog.com)

Depending on how long or how short your shutter curtain stays open will effect motion blur in your image.

Read the following article on Shutter Speed and then answer the questions on the shutter speed handout. 

Then

Read the article on Panning and answer the questions on the shutter speed handout.

Here are the traditional full shutter speed stops:  <—–1 second, 1/2second, 1/4,1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000—–>

Note: The shutter speed doubles as you move higher and halves as you move to lower numbers: 1/1000 is twice as fast as 1/500 and 1/500 will stay open twice as long as 1/1000

Search Shutter Speed on flicker and you’ll find wonderful examples of photographs that creatively play with fast and slow shutter speeds.
