Unit Four : The Exposure Triangle
We learned about shutter speed and how it can be used to create different types of images. This week you will be creating (at least) two images using slow and fast shutter speeds.
For the sake of this week, use Shutter Priority mode!
Freeze motion.
Take one photo utilizing a fast shutter speed (1/125s or faster) in order to completely stop a subject in motion.
Some ideas to get you started: moving cars, athletes in action, dancing, playing children, animals.
Show motion.
Take one photo utilizing a slow shutter speed (1/60s or slower) in order to show movement in your subject.
Some ideas to get you started: flowing water, a blurred subject running, cars blurred as they pass by.
Bonus: Advanced technique.
Take a photo using one of the advanced techniques discussed in the lesson.
The idea here is to just experiment, so don’t worry about getting it exactly right! Just try it out and see what you end up with.
Include a short write-up of what you learned while playing with different shutter speeds. Include any aspect that was especially challenging. As this is an experimental lesson, feedback will be focused on the shutter speed technique you utilized. If you want feedback on another aspect of your image, please include that in your write-up.
