Task 6 (16/09/13) Shutter Speed




Shutter speed is the length of time the shutter stays open to expose light into the camera sensor. Landscape photographers use slow shutter speeds to create motion in rivers and waterfalls. When using a slow shutter speed a tripod is required, the slightest shake will be seen in the picture. Using a fast shutter speed doesn't require a tripod as the speed of the shutter is so fast it doesn't notice the shaking. I took a few pictures to show how much light the camera lets in, depending on the shutter speed. My pictures don't show the movement that this technique has to offer.





Shutter Speed - 1/6

As you can see here, because the shutter speed is slow, it let in too much light and you can not tell what the object of interest is.


Shutter Speed - 1/30

This photo is a lot darker because i altered the shutter speed so it was faster, this way it didn't let as much light in the lens.

Shutter Speed - 1/100

I put the shutter speed a 100 which means it was fast so it doesn't have much time to take in the light, this is why the photo looks more dull, but i feel this is the most effective photo of the 3, with the framing being better.
