Week 5 shutter speed and ISO

This is my brother who i was tasked with taking multiple pictures of at different paces of shutter speeds on the Pro Shot app to show different perspectives.

The top photo was with a faster shutter speed to give the picture minimal blur, so even whilst he was moving up and down mid jump, there was as little blurring as possible, making a smoother photo. The second photo counteracts this as the shutter speed was changed to slow to create a completely different effect, which as you can see, gave it an interesting look, blurring out the top of the image as he was mid jump and on his way back down.

This photo was selected with burst fade, showing just as he was about to jump

Extra research

Shutter speed is one of the most important settings when it comes to photography as you try to capture the correct brightness and different effects that will cause drama within the photo through freezing or blurring out people or backgrounds.

You can change the different shutter speeds through the camera shutter, slowing it down or speeding it up depending on what you want to achieve with your photo. The shutter speed is the amount of time the camera is open, which exposes the light onto the sensor.

Slow shutter speeds are typically used at night to expose the milky way for example, as it brings out a much clear image than a fast speed would.

A fast shutter speed might be used to picture something like a dolphin jumping out of the water, to try and freeze it, whilst also keeping the rest of the water and background clear.

Another important part of shutter speed is the exposure of the light used when taking it, which of course affects the brightness of the image. If you use a high shutter speed, you will get more light and vice versa for a slower speed.
