Shutter Speed 7/11/2010
Shutter speeds are used to show motion through photographic images. If a fast shutter speed is applied to the camera the nthe image will be a still frame of high detail whereas if a slow shutter speed is aplied then the image will capture movement until the shutter is closed. This is because the shutter acts a stopper for the light that enters the camera to capture the image, With a slower shutter speed more light is allowed to enter making the image more prolonged. The images on the left are the photos I took after we learnt how shutter speed is used, the top image is the example of a fast shutter speed. This isn't the best example as the car is moving quite fast so the image looks blurred due to the object. The bottom picture however is a perfect example of a slow shutter speed, the fairy lights' movement is caught as more light is allowed to enter via the lens.
