Shutter Speed Assignment
The following series of images are a demonstration of the effects that can be produced if we reduce the shutter speed significantly. The images are of various subjects and a variety of shutter speeds were used.
f/32.0 10.0 ISO 100 This image was shot using a wine glass and two LED lights - one blue
and one white. The lights were spun inside the glass from a piece of
string whilst the camera was set to a shutter speed of 10 seconds.
f/22.0 30.0 ISO 100 This image was taken from beside one of the express ways in Runcorn,
just after peak hour so there was a reasonably steady stream of traffic
travelling in both directions, creating light streams from the
headlights and the taillights.
f/22.0 60.0 ISO 100
The above image was shot with the
help of a remote trigger. By placing the camera on the floor,
positioning myself to the left of the lamppost which is centre right of
the image then waiting 30 seconds and then quickly moving to the right
side of the lamppost (trying to mirror the position on the left!), I was
able to create a ghost like effect on either side of the lamppost.
f/20.0 1/15 ISO 100
With this image of a wind turbine I
wanted to create a sense of movement without the propellers being a
complete blur, I therefore chose to use a shutter speed that was slow
enough to capture some movement of the turbine without capturing a full
rotation.
f/22.0 1/8 ISO 100 This image was captured with a remote trigger. I positioned the
camera on a tripod just far enough away that it wouldn't be caught by my
swinging and when I gathered enough momentum I triggered the shutter
release.
f/22.0 30.0 ISO 100 This image was created using a green LED light. I used a black guitar
against a black background, once the shutter was tripped I quickly
"painted"around the shape of the guitar.
f/16.0 30.0 ISO 100 This image of the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool was taken on a fairly
windy evening. The movement in the clouds has been captured by the slow
shutter speed, creating a streaked effect across the sky.
