Shutter Speed

I had 1 other group of pictures with Kyle riding his bike but I was encountering some uploading problems. Here is my entry for this week. From what I know about Shutter Speed, the faster the shutter speed, the faster the camera takes the picture. The slower the shutter speed, the slower the camera takes the picture. I usually don't have the need to have my SS be the priority so this weeks topic helped me to open my eyes to the possibilities and advantages of choosing your own shutter speed. (It is good to use your S priority mode on your camera if you would like to control the speed of your shutter if you are trying to stop or freeze motion or to show action.)

Shutter Speed

SS 1/200 sec. Aperture f10, ISO 100. I like how the slower shutter speed makes the bird a little blurry. If I would have had another chance before the bird was gone, I would have slowed it down even more to get more of the wing movement. I was hoping to get a really cool SLOW shutter shot, but I haven't had time lately, so here are a couple FAST ones to freeze the action.

SS 1/4000 sec., Aperture 1.8, ISO 400 (red shirt)

SS 1/6400 sec., Aperture 1.8, ISO 100 (pink shirt)

Shutter Speed

Manual Mode: F13, 2 sec.


Here's the before picture before I put it in motion.
