Shutter speed and ISO

This week we looked at shutter speed and how they can impact the way an image looks.

First, we looked at how slow shutter speed effects an image. On an iPhone, you can achieve this result through using live phot then adding the long exposure effect.

Here is the image I took:

A girl stands infrotn of a road in Leeds as a bus drives past
Using slow shutter speed has caused the subject to be still whilst the blurred bus moves behind.

To achieve this, we ensured to take the photo in a busy area with a lot of action. The subject also stayed very still to ensure they weren’t blurred.

Next we looked at fast shutter speed.

On an iPhone, you would use the burst mode to capture an image ‘frozen in time’.

Here is what I took:

A girl is jumping with her legs out to the side over a black and yellow bollard
Using a fast shutter has meant we have been able to freeze the subject in time

By using burst mode, I could capture a clear and crisp image of the subject jumping.
