Shutter Speed Photos

Shutter speed photos

To begin, I started with fast shutter speed. A fast shutter speed allows the photographer to take multiple images of the same event that is taking place at the time, meaning that the images they take capture everything in the frame of the viewfinder, and ultimately, create an amazing picture by capturing everything in a frozen frame. However, setting the shutter speed too fast can at times can decrease the amount of light that flows through the lens (aperture), therefore making the picture darker, and less attractive. By setting my shutter speed to a 250^th of a second, I was able to capture jumping movements, and running too, without the loss of any light in my image.
The effect that a slow shutter speed can have may vary. An image taken quickly with a very fast shutter speed can mean that an inadvertently messy image might be taken by closing the shutter at the wrong time. If an image is carefully planned, then the photographer can catch every movement and every action, by again, taking into consideration the setting in which the image is being taken, how poor the lighting is, and what is being captured. With a fast shutter speed, every last detail of movement can be captured making motion blur no longer a problem. Another good use of a fast shutter speed would be to capture facial expressions which can tell the audience about what is going on and what the subject/model is feeling emotionally. A fast shutter speed means that the subject doesn’t have time to change their facial expression for the camera.

A slow shutter speed allows us to capture many frames at one time and it almost seems like the images that are taken all come together to form one. With the slower shutter speed, not everything can be captured, and motion blur can be a serious issue with this. In my images, for a moving subject, I used a fast shutter speed in order to capture everything, but for the torchlight drawings, I had a shutter speed of around 5-7 seconds which allowed me to captured a lot of the light, creating an attractive image.
For this to work, the lights have to be shut out (as seen) and the torch needs to be moved slowly which allows the camera to capture a drawing - moving the torch quickly can stop the camera from capturing the entire process.
A con of slow shutter speed can be the fact that the image needs planning before it can be taken in order to capture an effective image. On the other hand, a pro would be that so long as the images have been planned accordingly, decent effects can be shown in the image, making it look as though the image has been edited to look in certain way.
