Exploring Motion with Shutter Speed

The setting on the camera which controls how motion is captured is __shutter speed__.

The longest the Nikon D3300’s shutter stays open is__1/4__.

The shortest duration the Nikon D3300’s shutter stays open is _1/4000_.

When we used a _slow_ shutter speed, we had to use a tripod because no one can possibly hold a camera steady for that length of time without moving the camera.

In the situation where we intentionally wanted to use a slow shutter speed, we had to use an ISO of _100_ and the smallest aperture of f22 and even higher.

This forced the camera to allow a shutter speed of at least 1 second. The longer shutter speed allowed us to convey GHOST images which was an interesting effect especially when combined with a person who is standing very still in the picture. My favorite picture from that situation is …

Include the exposure information with the picture example ISO 100 f22 2 seconds. If we want to get in the picture as well, we can set the camera to a delay by using the _timer_

Movement of the camera isn’t always a bad thing like the example of panning.

In the picture where we photographed someone riding a bicycle to convey motion, we used a shutter speed of _1/30_ and an aperture of_f/22_ and the ISO was _100_.

My favorite picture from this assignment is shown..

On the other extreme end of shortest duration that the camera shutter stays open, we used high shutter speeds or fractions of a second. In the water balloon bursting picture, we

used ISO _800_ aperture of _F/5.6_ and shutter speed of _1/1,600_

To capture splashing water, we also used high shutter speeds. Here are my favorite pictures of high shutter speeds.
