Shutter Speed Evaluation

Shutter Speed Image Evaluation

I used Shutter speed so I can capture an image that is moving fast. I changed the presets according to the speed the subject of the image is moving at. The camera I used ranged from 1/4000 sec to 30 secs.

 1. Image of An Elderly Man on a Bicycle 

For this image I have chosen to a shutter speed of 1/2000.

I used this speed in order to freeze frame the image, because a bike goes faster than a person I needed the shutter speed to be faster than a person can normally see. As you can see the lighting is not brilliant due to outdoor conditions, to improve this in future I would change the ISO settings on the camera, allowing more light to come through the camera, or alternatively use artificial lighting.

 2. Moving Car 

For this image I have chosen to use a shutter speed of 1/4000.

This is a very similar image to the first image. I used a higher shutter speed setting because the car was going slightly faster.

To improve this image change the ISO settings on the camera, allowing more light to come through the camera, or alternatively use artificial lighting.

 3. Running Water Image

For this image I used a shutter speed of 1/250 of a second. This image features running water, I used this shutter speed to capture the water in a freeze frame while running.

This image is slightly dark, to improve this I could again either use artificial lighting or change the ISO settings on the Camera.

4. Moving Torch Image

For this image I chose use a 4 second shutter speed. I used this to capture the moving light of the torch. This allowed me to create the effect you can see, the light has followed a pattern and left a trail.
