View and respond 6

After watching this video I learned a lot of very useful tips to create better photos using shutter speeds. Shutter speeds are measured in fractions of seconds and the bigger the number the slower the speed. The difference is so different in the photo but sounds no different to your ear. Slow shutter speeds are very useful when you don't have a lot of light. They're also useful for capturing movement and help to tell a story. Fast shutter speeds are good for things like sports and when you want to freeze motion. A good way to experiment with shutter speed is to use shutter priority exposure mode. This way the camera does the thinking for you and allows you to play around but still get a good exposure. The longer the lens the longer your shutter should be. The faster your subject is moving and the closer it is to your camera the faster your shutter speed should be. The longer your shutter speed is simply means the longer the shutter is open.

    I was wondering if you could send me one good picture from last night's varsity game to macphotoj@gmail.com. I would love to post it to macjournalism as a bonus Photo of the Day today. Hope everything went well. Have a great long weekend! DW

  3. The longer the lens, the faster your shutter speed should be.
