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.
