Week 5 – Workshop task

Burst mode photos (fast shutter speed):

Using a faster shutter speed to showcase a series of events in this case jumping off the plank of wood allowed me to capture the moment with the ability to freeze the image. Therefore, these images show the key details in sharp focus. The images came out clear in this case but sometimes with a fast shutter, the camera may struggle to expose the scene even with a fully open aperture. This can be combated by increasing the ISO but it’s best to use the lowest ISO setting.

Live photo long exposure (slow shutter speeds):

With the image below, the use of a low shutter speed allows for more movement in the image as shown by the passing car and Joe walking in the photo, contrasted with the still buildings in the background. A slow shutter is used to capture a similar shot to the first but with the increased movement and live action, this adds a feeling of urgency to a shot instead of the still feeling of the previous images.
