Lesson 6 – Shutter Effects

You probably have these pictures of a race car or bike rider, where the object seen in the fairly sharp but the background is blurred with stripes is called velocity. Maybe you have a waterfall that looks like flowing silk seen. Or to see a photo completely frozen with no on-site in a sporting moment.


This is a result of creatively with the camera shutter. High shutter speeds like 1/500th, 1/1.000, 1/2000th or higher (remember that is a fraction of a second) to create a stop motion.Alternatively, the slow shutter speeds like 1/15th, 1/4 or even the second, gives a sense of movement through the blur of a portion of the image.One question that often, if the shutter speed is too slow, the image is blurred by the "motion blur", which can be detrimental to an image, the effect is not intentional.

Exercise: This is best done on a cloudy day, not too dark or too bright. Find a friend with a bike or would like to run. Go to an open area and establish their position. Does your friend or a drive for you, many many times. You'll have to do a lot of shows being shot.First, set the shutter speed as high as possible from the lights - waiting about 1/500 to 1/2000 - with the opening as open as can be configured (ie ƒ1.8).

As your friend is beyond you, take him or her in the viewfinder, turn the waist constantly pointing the camera at his friend. Take lots of pictures for several laps. This is known as "panning". You may want to try a couple of passages without firing the shutter, and practice keeping your friend in the viewer as he or she spends with you.

Now the shutter speed as low as possible - I would suggest about 1/30, remember to set the aperture as high as possible to light. Repeat the above movement framing to support his friend in the viewfinder.
Take lots more pictures, and remember to keep appearing at the waist with a friend yesterday.PS - to keep your images sharp acceptable rule of thumb is to keep the shutter speed at least equal to the focal length - so a 50 mm lens should be used with a shutter speed of 1/50 of a second or faster. But I find most digital cameras you want to add another 50% - so you want to shoot at 1/80 or faster (the third of a stop corresponds to 1/75).

For sharp images of a tripod is a useful tool for unlocking the choice of shutter speeds.

Alternatively, you can have your camera for surprisingly long periods with good technique: Place the bottom of the camera body in his left hand and hold the weight with your hand and then put the left elbow, basically, in its lower left rib cage. Lastly, maintaining the display close to the eye and use his right hand to release the shutter and also stabilize the camera. Breathe in and breathe out slowly while squeezing the shutter.
